And because I want to, one more ...

Well. Obviously I used the internet today for the first time in a week or so. I missed it, but was being thrifty. I apologize. In the time since I wrote that last blog a few mentionable things have happened.

I went to my first Armenian party. It was a pretty good time. There was dancing, some kareoke, of course food, and even some games. I danced a couple of times, played some games in Armenian (There was a nice man there translating for me) and even carried on some conversations strictly in Armenian. I was proud. Overall, It was a good night.

My host brother and sister left yesterday for University in Yerevan, I am going to miss them. The house is going to be much quieter, and I have lost my partner for my nightly strolls through the park. They said they are coming back for my birthday though, which makes me happy!

Went for a hike with Jack and 2 of the volunteers from Edjivan yesterday. That was pretty great. As we walked, a young man yelled out in English, inviting us in for coffee. We went in and ended up spending a couple of hours there, talking about a wide range of subjects. Turns out the man was a Vascular Surgeon in Yerevan, and had some great views on everything from the Genocide, to medical care, and current politics. It was very interesting. We also walked to a little cafe called LChop and hung out for awhile. It was nice to see the other volunteers again. We were all very used to seeing one another all the time during PST, and are feeling the seperation.

OH, and got an email from the PC today. Finally got the package that mum sent to me about a month ago. To bad I can't go into Yerevan for another 3 weeks to get it.

You're probably sick of reading by now, so I will leave you with some pictures I am stealing from my site mate. More to come next time I post. Love and miss you all...counting down till Christmas!
