more photos, update: 6/16

Don't think pictures are going to work. The world of technology seems to conspire against me. So sorry to all. Life here continues. More to learn everyday. More to work on everyday. I have met new people and been impressed with it all. As my time here may be cut off any day I am trying to live in the moment and absorb as much as I can. Speaking a lot of Russian but some days are better than others. Understanding the language is still hard. Speaking the language requires creativity. It helps to have friends now who are patient and help me. With them I learn much. I will try to post some more pictures soon if the gods see it in their favor. Apparently I need to sacrifice a goat or something.
My work has consisted of sawing a lot of wood and now I am working on replacing all of the wood in Natasha's trailor. Going to make it nice and new and paint it bright red. Quite Russian. Nuala, I have much to tell you about this place. Things you must see, lessons I learned, and people to meet. My friends are eager to meet you. Stay stoked! Until next time. Sorry for the lack of pics again.

  1. Thanks for the update bro! You're looking vibrant and well on the outside even though I know you don't always feel that way on the inside. But thats OK. We are all here at the Hospital to see Mom. Me, Dad, Francie, Gramma....Mom is doing really well today! Rough morning, but now really clear-headed and perky.....We've gotten her a TV at home for her room so she can watch from her bed. Rookie got to chase a rabbit in the yard this morning. All my shit is downstairs (my car was packed!!) Got Dad some Maker's Mark for Father's Day....Anyways, we're going and going. That's really cool you're building a log cabin! Hopefully someday we can build one of those in Oregon...Hang in there and go well and we'lll try to talk soon. Looking forward to seeing you. Glad your Russian is improving. We'll get high and watch Nu Pagadi when you get back.
    Love, Matt and everyone else
