Well, here i am in Armenia. We all flew out on June First and split up in Instanbul. Kjestine and Trish missed there flights so I got to spend a little more time with them because they stayed in the hotel I was in. Zack and I were able to stay in Instanbul one night. The next morning, I wandered around a little and found a couple of mosques and took pictures. I also found a Burger King which Zack and I ate lunch at that day. It was heaven!! Then we flew from Istanbul to Munich Germany and had a two hour layover where we drank German beer!! Then we flew back to Armenia. We were on the very first flight from Munich to Armenia. We got flowers when we landed. WE also got visas when we landed. Gee, this government didn't have to ask their president if we could get a visa. By the way, Peace Corps, Uzbekistan has been suspended. All volunteers should be leaving the country soon if they have not already. It is because of the visa issue. So, we arrived in Armenia at 4am. Ugh!! Then we spent the night in a hotel and were picked up the next day by current volunteers. I went with Allison to Berd which is a four hour marshutka ride across the country. What a beautiful country it is!! I sat and read books with a cat curled up on me and thunderstorms going on all day outside. I also met other volunteers and played pingpong. Very nice. Gotta go! I of course will write more later! Again Jodi, love your dirty hippie ways!! Take care JOE!!! Miss ya Caroline but glad you found shoes your size again!! TRAVIS!! They have COFFEE HERE!!! Good stuff!! Take care! Laura
