Whew .... it took me an hour and a half to walk to the post office to use the internet, and then there was the wait for the computer to free up so I'm sorry if I don't update or talk more.
Mongolia is amazing, it is so unlike anything I've ever know that I can't even put into words the whole experience. After 10 days I'm an outhouse expert, I can wash my own clothes, and I even got to take my first real shower in 10days ... I love it!
My family is amazing, I love them tons and only wish my Mongolian were better so that I could communicate better. My mom makes the best food that hasnt made me sick in the slightest. I've even lost some weight, but that could be because of the long walks I take with my little sibs after dinner each night.
The other day I hiked a mountain with some of my fellow PCTs ... it was glorious. I got to shimmy through rock crevasses and jump frightening distances and then on the way down the rains came (which at the time was miserable, but looking back really made the experience all the better).
Language aquisition is a long hard process, I almost cried in class today when I couldnt grasp the grammer concepts, but I'm so glad that everyone here is so great and supporting. I'm the youngest in my group so its like having a whole bunch of older sibs. I love it ^_^.
I play with sheep ankle bones, drink milk tea nonstop, wake with the sun and our roosters crowing, miss chocolate but enjoy the icecream and yogert ... its more than I could ever have imagined.
I really miss home, but this is sooooo worth it.
Also I hear Boston has the best record in baseball!!! GO SOX!!!
