Below is a pic of me doing what I did most of the trip: interviewing the office staff. This pic is of Sayed, who does logistics work, telling me about the work he did in one of the national offices we hope to visit in May.
I'm leaving for the airport tomorrow morning at 3:40 a.m. and will fly to Istanbul, with a 12-hour layover there before catching the second leg of the flight to Bishkek. The trip will be long, but I don't expect it to be stressful; I'll have a book and will probably just sit read and snooze at my gate in Istanbul.
Guess what?? One of the guys working in the Tbilisi office attended ACU! His wife, Salome, and I were in the same car on the drive to Gorie yesterday, and we were chatting about airlines and the routes between Georgia and the U.S. She said she would be traveling to the U.S. sometime soon b/c her husband's family lives in Texas. I said that I am from Texas and that is where my family lives! She asked where, and when I said Abilene, she told me that her husband, Matt, attended ACU. The years he went to school there even overlapped with me. He graduated in 2001, and I did in 1999. It was so cool! Small world... :)
