My Fresh Air

I just got back from my site visit up north to the mountains of Balaken. It was beautiful. I traveled with four other volunteers for our site visit to see current volunteers Baily and Stephanie. The air was crisp(er), and the people were friedly. This is the place for me. Although I know I am not suppose to get my hopes up about getting a site, I am going to shoot for the moon and request to go up north, so I need all the prayers I can get for it! On the marshooka ride into the city up there a couple got on that looked questionably not azeri. Then we got to talking. They were Americans living in Azerbaijan trying to get a mountain adventure company going. YES! They said we could tag along with them and be their testers for climbs. ALSO they said they need help with getting horses involved, another YES! so, I want to be up north so I can keep in contact and go climbing with them. I mentioned taking kids up and doing camps and they were totally up for the idea. Again, things are starting to come together. I know this one is short too, but I just have not found time for proper reflection and analysis. I'll write next week too. Bye for now!
