This will be a quick update with no pictures.
We arrived in Azerbaijan on Tuesday at 21:05. We were in our pretraining hotel by midnight. We slept very well after 13 hours in airplanes and 8 hours in airports.
We have begun our Preservice Training and are able to introduce ourselves, count to a million, and know most of the alphabet. The language will be difficult, but we will make it.
There are 61 Trainees. On Saturday we move to our host families and training communities. Linda and I will be able to stay with the same family, but I will have to travel about 10 minutes by bus each day for my language and program pratical training.
Our training hotel is right on the Caspian Sea, but we have not had time to even walk along the beach yet. The weather has been warm, but rainy and windy.
Saturday is the big event, moving to our host family.
Internet availability is on and off here at the hotel, and will probably less available in the next few weeks.
