Armenia sounds fantastic so far, and I'm looking forward to reading more about your adventures as time progresses. I myself am returning to St. Petersburg, Russia, in August, for more language study. So good luck with your Armenian!<BR/><BR/>Allison<BR/><BR/>PS Do you mind if I link to your blog from mine? I think some of the people who read my blog would be interested in yours as well.Allihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14485590105648755037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3219804582991290105.post-44864056887629920742008-06-12T16:37:00.000-07:002008-06-12T16:37:00.000-07:00Do you talk about mulberries a lot?

And I am also glad to hear that you have a working toilet. Any chance there is an address of sorts? I still have a package that D&T hid from me before I last visited! Miss you lots and look forward to more updates!<BR/><BR/>-Corn<BR/><BR/>PS. I saw Tanq last week and he was very pleased to read your e-mail echoing everyone's thoughts that you should be a writer. I agree :)Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02044809941175442694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3219804582991290105.post-75410864602151943492008-06-11T06:40:00.000-07:002008-06-11T06:40:00.000-07:00scott, i am still trying to remember my password. ...scott, i am still trying to remember my password. i tried all day yesterday and wanted to be first, but maggie is so pushy she got there before me. don't know why my message posted as "dad". xo, mommomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06630190827444368230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3219804582991290105.post-83284805458747791142008-06-11T06:37:00.000-07:002008-06-11T06:37:00.000-07:00dear scott, i love your blog! it is so interesti...dear scott, i love your blog! it is so interesting and funny. i am so proud to tell everyone i meet that you are in the peace corps. i hope we will be able to meet your armenian family when we visit. dad likes the idea of not doing dishes and smoking cigars in the street. i miss you a lot!!! love, momDadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03862706964438198507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3219804582991290105.post-80199389732010220432008-06-10T16:07:00.000-07:002008-06-10T16:07:00.000-07:00Scott, this sounds like an idyllic backwater that ...Scott, this sounds like an idyllic backwater that would exist in an American 1920's novel of a rural countryside, somewhere around Montana. It sounds like a great opportunity to learn about your fellow man, unencumbered by prejudice or stereotypes. I envy you. <BR/><BR/> Now it is up to you to take two of those piglets on a pilgrimage, ala Lonesome Dove.<BR/><BR/> It will be interesting to hear what the industry of their efforts is in this town to generate commerce, besides truck gardening. It sounds like they are ripe for Eric Clapton on the Ukelele.<BR/><BR/> We love hearing from you, so keep it up. Let us know if there is something you think you might need. Think seasonally and 2 months in advance.<BR/><BR/>Love <BR/>DadDadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03862706964438198507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3219804582991290105.post-53755874066287432482008-06-10T06:23:00.000-07:002008-06-10T06:23:00.000-07:00Ah, gender segregation...just the way it should be...Ah, gender segregation...just the way it should be. (Just kidding Uncle Sam!)Seriously, though, it sounds like something out of a book. Your home and your host family sound really great. Sounds like you've settled in and are making a great impression on the locals. By the way, I'm pretty sure that our mother would think it was funny if you wanted to help with dishes and laundry, too, so I'm not sure that's an Armenian thing.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you're having a good time and learning a lot. I'm really proud of you for doing something like this, though it really just seems natural for you. I'm sure the next couple of years are going to fly and I know you won't take anything for granted. OK, I'm starting to sound like Dad so I'm signing off.<BR/><BR/>Love you!<BR/>MaggieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928537071058296818noreply@blogger.com
