He seems pretty happy&#8230;has a friendly roomate who is in the aviation program; Amy&#8217;s room is in the same dorm; the food court is across the street; but he hasn&#8217;t told us anything about the classes he&#8217;s taking&#8230;.he loves the workout facilities, though. Vib has a full rendition of our trip up there on her blog (Viv of all trades)&#8230;.Incidentally I promise never to create a blog, because never in my wildest dreams could I think of doing this every day).<\/p>\n<p>  We heard from Brady today. He&#8217;s doing well, in Talgar, Kazakhstan, about 40 km from Almaty. Living with a young couple (in their 20&#8217;s) wuith 2 little kids&#8230;he likes them a lot. The food is a mixed learning experience (lots of borscht&#8230;he likes that&#8230;but also organ meats&#8230;less enthusiasm). No internet yet in Talgar, but hopes to be on-line in a week or so, but he has a cell phone and as of today, we can converse via Skype and other exotic techniques. He may not use his blog (unless he makes it private) cuz the Peace Corps is twitchy about blogs. Of course a great deal more info exists on Viv&#8217;s blog (second commercial in 2 paragraphs).<\/p>\n<p>Cheers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes&#8230;I now have my couch back!!
