Salamatsysby!

Hey Everyone,

Things are going well here. We have our first "hub day" in the big city. We are getting more shots and I learned about malaryia. I wouldn't be worried to much though. Everybody seems alright here.
Everything is going fine at my host family. They are very nice people. The dad is a retired Soviet Officer, so that made for some interesting conversation. He kinda reminds me of my dad. He mumbles and then just walks out of the room because nobody pays attention to him.
The country here is absolutely beautiful. I get to watch the mountains on my walk to class every morning. I am taken aback every time I see those beautiful peaks! I will post a picture when I get the opportunity.
The food is very good. Potatoes, carrots, cabbage, tomatoes, and cucumbers are the big things right now. There is meat in everything, but not very much. It is actually quite enjoyable. My host mother keeps asking what I ate in America and honestly it isn't too different from what I am eating now. I hope everybody is safe. Feel free to email me and let me know what is going on in the world!
