Darkhan Days
Sorry it has been a while since we have posted but its starting to get alittle crazy around here preping for the new batch of volunteers. We made it to UB for our med check up (Paul has very gentle hands by the way) and for our dental checkup and cleaning AKA mouth torture by a mongolian. Just picture any horror movie with a dentist in it. We are all moved in to our apartment in Darkhan for training and tomorrow are going to the host families places to check them out for the arriving volunteers, I am going to have to eat a lot of tsuivan to check all of those jorlons. The apartment is great and its nice to have a TOILET! Its not nice to have cockroaches but I have declared war on them and have begun that war in earnest. My mother said that it is a war that I will never win, funny coming from the person who told me that I could do anything if I put my mind to it. So I;m going Taliban on their asses, there is going to be daily executions at the soccer stadium. No western music for the cockroaches, if they show themselves without proper atire they are stoned. Its going to be sick. There are going to be cockroach refugee camps in other apartments. I digress. The apartment is nice and big and we are in a good location right by our favorite restaurant. Ill try to post some pics soon. Love From Mongolia

Hi Guys
Talk about a long time no hear. I guess I've been really missing in action. Dud is healing very slowly. His Dr's say it's like watching paint dry. We have moved into a new apartment and are trying to sell the boat. I don't think anyone has any money.
Matt and Jason and their wives and sons are coming up the end of June. It's so neat to see how much the boys have changed their lives.
Speaking of life changing experiences, you guys have grown so much. I can tell by reading your blogs. Will you ever be able to come back and live as you did before?
Alli, I'm so sorry for the loss of your father. That must have been a terrible experience to be so far away when your parents needed you. I'm sure your Dad must have been very proud of you.
I noticed that you have a wish list of "presents" that someone could send. Is your address still posted somewhere?
A man who used to work for me is now working for one of our partners and we traded emails. His sister also joined the Peace Corps. She is in Africa. I don't know if you guys have a club of volunteers, but her name is Jill Nawrocki http://jillnawrocki.blogspot.com/
We met her one summer downtown on our boat.
I guess that's all for now. I hope you are glad you joined and are having a great experience. We love you and thing of you even if we don't communicate. Happy Birthday Mike.
Love Judy and Dud.
