I would like to apologize to all of my loyal fans for not posting on my blog since arriving in Mongolia! I still only use a public computer, but I have some free time and some money to spend! :)

The last 6 weeks have had lots of ups and a couple of downs, but all in all pre-service training has been going great!!!!! This weekend is full of exciting and fun events! Today I worked in a Delgor(a mom and pop super market) and I sold toilet paper and three cigarettes. I really didn't want to sell them, but Sharaa made me haha! While I was working a drunk man came in and picked up a bottle of vodka and dropped it on the floor. I spent the rest of the morning picking up glass.

This afternoon my Peace Corps friends and I are going to a goat roast. We killed the goat this morning and are cooking it with hot stones. I am looking forward to the get together, but not the eating part! Last week at Nadaam I drank fermented mares milk which ended up making me sick for 3 days, so in other words I am ready to eat my own cooked foods (unfortunately that's not much better HA!).

I promise I will start writing much more! I get my own internet connection in 2 weeks and I will have multiple posts per week, so get your reading glasses ready, and try not to critique my writing too much (Isabel haha!). Love you all!

Oh and Mrs. C I am glad to hear your surgery went well! Make sure you stay on that PT! haha
