I am sorry about the very long break in
blog posts. There are only four weeks left and the weather has been
amazing, on this side of the country anyway, so I have been out and
about more often than not. Which gives me ample things to write
about, but not so much time to do it.
The weekend that I posted the last post
about the frogs, I was in Kutaisi, at the McDonald's, of course. I
was meeting a friend there who is here in Georgia because I told her
about the program. I needed to see her and make sure she didn't want
to dissolve our friendship for getting her over here (she has ended
up in a village with no internet of any kind and the nearest town is
downwind of a magnesium factory which is doing wonders for her lungs)
Luckily, she is loving it here, with the exception of the things I
have just mentioned, and we had a great time reveling in the fast
internet of Mc Ds. She had come in with a friend of hers from
training who was really cool, and we all had a great time sharing
music and movies and talking about the problems and perks of being
TLG volunteers. I uploaded the Frog video, and that is when I got the
shock of my life. My friend's friend had my blog bookmarked! This
blog has made it onto the TLG blogs list, and she said it was one of
the better ones (not incredibly depressing and not designed to make
her think she made a mistake about coming to Georgia). It was crazy,
and I am really happy that this blog that was designed to let me tell
my family and friends how I am without telling them all in individual
emails has been helping other people out.
