So Far, So Good

Hello everyone,
Sorry it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. The whole prospect of summing up my experience in a paragraph while sitting at an internet café hasn’t been very appealing. So this time I typed this before hand so I can just send it off. Everything is going great. Our sites were announced yesterday, which was quite an event. I’m headed to a town in the Shymkent area. Shymkent itself is in the far south of Kaz and is its second biggest city. I’ll be in a town about twenty miles to the east of it. The weather there shouldn’t be too cold in the winter (by Kaz standards). I'm also posting a couple pictures of my host family's house (the mountains are covered in snow now). Take care, Eric
