Well, it has been a while since I’ve updated the blog. A lot has happened. For starters it has gotten really cold in Minadze. I wear my long my underwear every where and I bathe less. My host family has started using the wood stove; it keeps the kitchen and living room toasty but there is a lot of wood to be split. One of my counterparts got married. I got to go to the wedding which was fun. I also got to teach by my self for a while; I guess that was fun too. My school just got electricity which is fantastic. Also, there was a state of emergency declared for all of Georgia following riots in the capital Tbilisi. Schools were canceled for a while and volunteer travel was restricted. I’d like to say there was danger and it was exciting witness such political instability, but it really wasn’t. It was boring. I spent the better part of two weeks at home watching Georgian state television with my host mother. Any how, that’s about it for the news from Minadze. For Christmas I will be going to France. That should be fun.

If you like to call me, you can using skype. I don’t think its too expensive. Let me know if you’re interested and I can send you an email with directions about how you can go about giving me a call.

Also, I recommend you check out some of the other Peace Corps Georgia volunteer blogs. Most of them are much better written and more frequently updated than my own. You can just kind of assume that I’m doing the same things they are and have many of the same thoughts about Georgia and the Georgian, except that I have a lot more free time because i’m not regularly updating a sweet blog.
