Life in Osh and More Wish List




More photos to come now that we are getting a hang of this so called "blogging", and as our schedules start to make more sense. We are doing well. Thanks for all the kind messages and support. We are still learning to adjust, and feel fortunate to have eachother for support and love.

TL: photo of Becky and Meg at the Osh bazaar, the oldest in Central Asia. By November the vegetables here will be less in abundance and variety and supply is dependent on local crops. There will be a few tomatoes but they will really expensive for us volunteers.
A room full of Kyrgyz ladies and me celebrating Ramadan and the breaking of the fast, or as they say here, "the opening of the mouth" for food. At this party 2 rooms were occupied by elders, 1 room by younger men and one room by the ladies. I decided to hang with Meg in the friendliest of the rooms, with the ladies.
Many folks have asked us if we need anything. If you scroll down, Meg posted a few items. Here are few additional items we thought of:

From Trader Joe's: Dark chocolate pretzels, pig-out brownies mix, miso soup, cherry chocolate trail mix, more assorted trail mix.

Jameson whiskey in a flask of some sort. (say its shampoo or something when declaring it) Peanut butter, coconut milk dried mix (if there is such a thing), chocolate chips for making cookies, brown sugar.

Please refer to the shipping instructions sent in a prior email update for info. It takes 2 weeks to get stuff.

Happy fall, Happy Autumn. thinking of you. We hope everyone is doing well.
