Summer Summer Summer

This is the picture we took after the camp ended at my friends school.

Hello all,

Sorry that it’s been a while since I wrote anything on here. I was pretty busy and without solid cell phone service to use internet.

I finally took my first trip to Naryn the past week. It’s amazing how different the landscape is in such a small country. In the states you can drive 4 or 5 hours and nothing changes. Going to Naryn was not like that. The ground, the mountains, the rivers, everything seemed a little (or a lot) different. I even felt kind of different…higher and more isolated…which is true, but being there actually felt that way. I helped out at a friend’s health camp doing sports and other things. It was a big success and I’m glad he asked me to help out.

On the way to my buddy’s village and on the way back to mine I got to stay in Naryn City and hang out with some friends I haven’t seen in a while. It was a great time and I needed it I think. I’m back in my village and things are getting greener and warmer by the day. I won’t be going anywhere for a few weeks until the next set of camps and then I’ll probably spend the rest of summer in my village working on some things and relaxing. Weather here is awesome as well…not humid at all! I’m going to be spoiled coming back to PA and all of the wonderful humidity that comes with summer in PA and the east coast.

I’m at a loss for other things to talk about though. Things are going well. The new volunteers are coming to their sites soon. It will be interesting getting to know them better. I think we have a great group coming to the lake.

Anyway, let me know how you guys are doing, haven’t heard from many people in a while! Also…let me know what movies I should keep an eye out for in case they make it over here on dvd!
