Longer updates to come, just trying to use some bandwith at the Peace Corps office, where I don't have to pay per megabyte. The pictures below are of Tbilisi, Georgia, where three other volunteers and I just returned from a five-day vacation. On the first day, we stumbled upon the Georgian Orthodox Church's Christmas celebration/parade, which was conveniently and confusedly one day after the Armenian Orthodox Church's Jan. 6 celebration (don't quote me on the specifics; my investigative journalism is shabby at best when dealing with hand motions and charades for language).

He said his name is Ronald, or something like that.
Donkeys always (ALWAYS) make a celebration better.
Yes, I was standing in the middle of the parade for this picture. Dad, I know you're proud right now.
And, that’s all for now. I’m tired and about to catch a marshutni back to Martuni to go get some sleep: we are fresh off of the night train where there was a stewardess who could best be described as someone you would find leading chain-gangs. I’m pretty sure I duplicated some of the pictures in there and left others out. My bad.
Oh, and Maureen- ask and you shall receive.

Thanks for the update! The guy with Ronald looks a lot like Brandon Napier. Hmmm.
ReplyDeleteOf course I am proud of you but you don't have to get trampled by a crowd just to get my attention!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good trip.
Dad
