A couple tidbits to share: here's a pic of me in our apartment entryway. We've hung this world map in each of our apartments, and it gets used quite often in conversations.
The picture was taken so I could show you my new boots I purchased for the equivalent of $16 at the Mongolian/Russian border town of Sukhbaataar. I love them. They are comfy (a must for me!), they're fur-lined (my feet got hot in them last night!), and they're boots (95% of the women you see outside are wearing "fashion" boots from October to April). My only boots last winter were my heavy, -40 degree, clomping monster boots. Don't get me wrong...I'll still use them once the really cold weather hits. However, these are my "fashion" boots, when the occassion calls for something a little dressier..like when we're teaching.
It appears I bought these just in time. This is what we woke up to this beautiful Wednesday morning:
I'm sure we'll still have many beautiful days ahead, but winter is beginning to descend upon us!

those boots ARE perfect! and for so cheap! nice snag! anddd im very grateful that I didnt wake up to that scene this morning... just dreariness.
I love your fashionable boots, and the fashionable way you are presenting your map! Can you say, "Vanna"?! :)
With the skiff of snow and the colder temps, you didn't get your new boots any too soon. The photo of you by the map looks very "teacher-y".... :)
Stay warm!!
"Vanna" and "Teacher" are pointing out "Mongolia" on the map!
