I'm home. Back where white blankets the tops of the mountains and the plethora of sheep make disturbing hacking sounds periodically throughout the day and night. Back to a place that I loved once and will love again. Back to Kyrgyzstan.

Houston.... We're experiencing difficulties......

Askar Akayev has fled to Moscow and the cities of Bishkek, Osh, and Jalabad are in revolutionary uproar. That's at least what I've heard. Alex Boston, the new head-honcho of Peace Corps Kyrgyzstan, after JC skipped out on us, is getting nervous (because I didn't know how to spell 'fidggety') at his big desk in the nice Peace Corps office and he says that we all (not just Osh and Jalalabad Oblasts) have to consolidate. So, like the sheep that I am, I am in Karakol, again, at Moldejeno Internet Cafe, again, awaiting further orders from the big boss-man. We may go to Almaty, Kazakstan, we may stay here, we may get shipped off to the US. I think we're gonna stay here, but what do I know, right? There is no revolutionary-type action going on in Karakol, at least not that I can see and with my glasses I have near-20-20 vision. So all you at home can breath a sigh of relief and now that I am not in any real danger. We'll see how the next few hours play out and then re-evaluate the sit-u-a-tion. If I don't happen to write back on this 'blog' site for awhile don't assume that I'm frought (don't know how to spell that either) with danger and jaman kishiler are banging on the door trying to get me. I'm probally in a nice Marriot somewhere or the Bahamas. I think they should fly us there. Cold drinks in our hands, sitting by the sea, and absorbing some of that nice solar radiation. Yeah, that's the life for me.

Gee Whiz! People have been calling to see how you are:) Are you in Karakol permanently until PC decides what to do? or can you go back to Darhan and wait. I know this must be hard. Take care of yourself and be careful out there. Keep us updated when you can. We LOVE you! lve,mom
