A universal color scheme in Kyrgyzstan

Before I forget, let me post a slight update to the Russia + Kyrgyzstan trip I mentioned before - a direct result of the inverse relationship between days-to-trip and airline ticket prices. In short, we decided a last minute booking wasn't going to work in our favor, so we went and did something like this:

Leave Moscow July 4th, arrive in Bishkek July 4th
Dep: SVO 7/4 10:05am, Aeroflot #181
Arr: FRU 7/4 4:15pm

So that gives us a few more days in Russia, a few less in Kyrgyzstan:

Tue, 19/06/07 - Arrive Tallinn, Estonia
Thu, 21/06/07 - Bus/train from Tallinn to St. Petersburg
Tue, 27/06/07 - Bus/train from St. Petersburg to Moscow
Wed, 04/07/07 - Fly from Moscow to Bishkek (flight info above)
Fri, 06/07/07 - Bus/taxi from Bishkek to Kara-Too for Felt Festival on Sat
Sun, 08/07/07 - Bus/taxi from Kara-Too (or nearby Kochkor) to Osh
Tue, 10/07/07 - Start a couple day "trek" out of Arslanbob or Kyzyl Unkur
Sat, 14/07/07 - Bus/taxi back to Bishkek (from wherever "trek" ends)
Mon, 16/07/07 - Fly back to NYC from Bishkek

That's all. In any case, I'm looking forward to my red, white and blue peanuts on the flight to Kyrgyzstan - a universal color scheme for the 4th (right?), so patriotic and delicious..
