Four novels, 8000 miles, and two perfectly fine cats later..

..and we're in Armenia. The two and a half months we spent stateside went WAY too fast for our taste, and now we're back in the living-out-of-suitcases-until-our-things-arrive phase It's a truely end-of-the-world sort of place. Our temporary housing is in a weird, Western-style subdivision. I'm talking lawn sprinklers, the works.

This country is nothing like the Philipines. Other than the typical third-world pollution, the food here is all relatively interesting to the western palate, and the produce is stellar, and, and the culture and history of the place is staggering.

I just finished the following books:
The Sex Lives of Canibals (a must for anyone living in or having lived in the South Pacific)
The Snows of Kilimanjaro
The Life of Pi
Travels with Auntie (Graham Greene)

I just started a 'Western' novel about horses and cowboys and whatnot. Not sure I'll make it through so I won't bother with the title. The Le Carre books we brought (The Spy Who came in the from the cold and Our Game) are next up I think.

I will write more later. We're alive and well and eating the food here already!

We miss you guys.
