Christmas in Azerbaijan Approaches
















Christmas approaches, but there is no Christmas music. The holiday here is New Year's Eve. That is when the presents are given. There are many Christmas trees, and we will post a picture of our host family's tree in the next posting.




Above are a few pictures:A classroom in one of the older schools in Lankaran, Linda and Kevin (PCT) with our host family in Saray. The view of the kitchen in Saray from the door of our room. Grilling in Saray, and the view from our door to the dining area.
We are getting our mail at the new address in about 2 weeks so far. We appreciate all your thoughts and cards.

Linda's birthday was a huge success and she received 24 cards and other assorted gifts such as peanut butter.

Linda is observing in classrooms this week and next. She will then decide on whom of the 9 English teachers to work with.

I am at the library each day and have conversation clubs in the morning and afternoon.

Our new host family in Shirvan are wonderful to us. We are warm, safe, and learning our way around our new city.
