I'm very
bummed because my friend Amy, from Houston, is leaving tonight.
She flies to Moscow at 2:30 AM (the same flight I'll be taking
Tuesday night), and leaves for Houston Friday morning. Alison
and I will miss her and her precious son, but my wallet won't!
She's
been a really bad shopping influence on me! On Sunday, we
went to the bazaar... we were told it was like a giant flea
market... but they sell everything. I bought a beautiful Shearling
jacket.... This jacket at home would cost at least $1200.
I only paid $210. Amy bought a mink jacket (and also only
paid around $200 for it). Yes, they had beautiful leather
and fur coats at this flea market.
We also
went for another massage last night. Luckily we've had the
services of Jezegul to baby-sit.
I wish
I could paint the picture happening right now. Amy had to
leave to go for her exit interview at the US Embassy here
in Kazakhstan. (I'll be doing that on Monday.) Amy and I ordered
lunch, but it took so long that she had to leave to get to
her appointment at the Embassy. So, she left me here, and
they just brought the food.
I'm typing,
with Alison on my lap, feeding her a Kaz pizza and eating
some sort
of hamburger
type dish that I guess I somehow ordered, and Amy's plate
of food is sitting here as well. Feeding a child, eating,
and typing email is not easy to do. The room is filled with
six computers, and on four of them are American Peace Corps
workers, so at least it's a compassionate group in here with
me.
However,
I don't think Alison's going to last very much longer sitting
relatively quietly on my lap. So, I'm going to sign off now...
she's getting really cranky!
