That is right, just 34 short days until I get to visit home and see everyone again!! Very exciting stuff, I know. Well...a few things to share with you since the last time:
I started the wood stove all by myself the other day. I have a new appreciation for my tateak that can do it in like 5 seconds. I can start a fire in the open, no problem, but when you have to cram all the wood nicely in the little box and start it with no kindling and a match...it is frustrating. But I was cold and home a lone...It needed to happen.
I made banana bread for the first time!! Actually, I baked for the first time in Armenia. It was delicious if I do say so myself, and was pretty fun to cook. There is no Vanilla extract here, you use little packets of powder vanilla flavor stuff instead. It was still tasty though!
I not only got a FREE ride from Dilijan to Yerevan, but then my timing worked out and I got a separate FREE ride from the PC office to the hotel...amazing. Unfortunately, that was probably my luck for the next year, I guess we will see.
My conference is going pretty well. I am having fun in Yerevan (and staying at a hotel!!). Last night I showered and almost cried over the amazing water pressure that we had. You forget about things like that until you experience it again...It was fantastic!
I have also had some great food..we go out for dinner every night (don't worry mum-we get reimbursed by the PC) and I had some great Thai food last night. Then, we tried out a new Italian place tonight. Unfortunately, they didn't have a meatball sub, but they did have a chicken alfredo on par with Olive Garden.
Since I went out last night dancing, tonight is going to be a night in for relaxing and some reading. Mabye a movie.
Love you all!!
