temperature I just checked the temperature at your place: 84 degrees at 10:30 pm.And tomorrow no relief - high 99. Not too different from here in Rockville. Hope you have air conditioning at the hotel. Hang in there. Love, Bob and Eleanor
WAshington DC event hello dear family...sorry to hear about the runs...hope you are all better now and drinking lots of bottled water. We had VIP parking, reception and seating at the Marine Review last night..a perfect night for it...very impressive...I would have been happier if there was some balance..like a choir singing a peace song as part of the presentation..
love and hugs to you all, kappy
very cool What a great thing you guys are doing. saw your blog for the 1st time ( 1st time looking at any blog actually) and loved seeing the pix and reading your updates. After we get off this site , Kristina wants to GoogleEarth your travels. We'll be pouring concrete here ourselves on Monday, the shop floor, but not in buckets.
We look forward to more.
Immodium, yum yum Hope you are all staying hydrated and happy despite your run-in with St. Gregory. I'm sooo glad Anna's having fun and that you all are getting to know the family whose house it is, and have met some other fun teenagers (who speak Armenian! Amazing!) Can you go out in the evening on your own or is it not safe for that?
Take some pictures of people milling around town. I want to see a bit more of what life is like there...The pictures of the old ladies making lavash was very cool. The hotel loooks fancy from the photos -- but it's small and funky? (How about a picture of one of your rooms...) Have you tried the napoleons yet? Jen says they are amazing.
We've been pow-wowing with Molly and Steve about house plans and strawbale design for the last three days, about 12 hours a day, so I've had no time for emailing, house cleaning, etc.. Bizzy has been amazingly easy-going without any big sisters to annoy, and adores Molly and Steve. So its all been quite fun.
I think I'm going to take Biz up to Milford this week for a couple of days...Fia's mouth sores are falling off (and her disbudding scabs) so she make be fully recovered by the time you get back...Otherwise everything is the same here. Hot hot hot.
I miss you guys...

what a bunch! You all are really something! I am doing my best right now to help humanity by sending you all lots of love and fond thoughts and also best wishes to the family whose house you are building. That's all I can manage right now as I'm at milford, lounging on the front porch, lolling in the stream. I love the blog and the photos. (Some of the people in these pictures are getting mighty grown up looking.) Love to all, Tammy
Wonders of the World Dear Armenian crew, it's the Iceland crew here sending you love- Alice and Gary near the top of the world... Sounds like you all are doing a great job. Anna would fit right in around this locale- many redheads and blonds. We've had on parkas, hats and long underwear in the last week. We are basking in arctic heat of @ 65 degrees at its high, and walking on pumice and volcanic rock with every step- it isn't purple though, but a dusty off white. The entire Island is a rock garden at this time of year. We've seen puffins, and shags and whales...Today I and my sister-in-law went snorkeling in glacier water, @ 37 degrees! Hearing the sounds of a band playing outside our window now in the center of Reykjavik. Much love and an arctic blast to all of you devoted folks in Armenia!
a remedy Maybe a little purple pumice in your cereal will take care of St. Gregories' revenge - I hope you all get back to regular soon - stay cool! Some WV news - a giant tree fell across the driveway - time for some chainsaw fun -- Ann
What an adventure!! 13 years is a very long time to spend in a hole. I'm glad Izzy didn't have to spend several days there, though being rescued would, I'm sure, have made a welcome birthday gift. But, seriously now, thanks for making the blog. It's great to see the pictures and read the entries. I especially like the local twist on English, but I'm still trying to figure out how sweets and towers come in handy when you're swimming. Perhaps they help you luke alife. I wish I could be there and have some lavash!
Niel
PS--It's hot here too
hole idea Hey, maybe you could could put a Saint Gregory hole in your new house! Could come in handy. Looking forward to a lavash party on your return. -- Ann
Luke Alife!! lol you work sounds so cool and fun! i'm glad you get to ineract with the armernians too. do they know english at all? i see that you all are practicing your armernian (haha to anna's favorite word from last blog) - have you gotten better?
Great Pics Your blog is awesome and the pictures are most excellent. I wish something as exciting were happening here so I could fill you you in - the best I can do is to let you know my latest project, 'cleaning the shed'. Keep up the good work!
its good to see you! hello all! thanks for the update! I had a fun day yesterday harvesting potatoes and onions, blackberry picking and making bread...I'll keep things going well here on the "farm", love and hugs, k
Hey guys!
We are here in Armenia from July 12th to July 26th. We will keep you updated on our Armenian adventures with entries and photos. See you soon!
Sincerely,
Wren, Sam, Anna, Stuart
