Chris Moving In With His Host Fam!

I was lucky enough to get a hold of Chris via phone on Thursday night at the number posted in the last update... caught him at 5 am (which I am sure he was very happy about, haha). He was ready to move in with his host family on Friday afternoon. The family lives about 20 miles from Ashgabat, so he will have more regular access to email as compared to many other potential locations.

Chris' host family does not speak any English. They live on a farm with cows, goats, pigs... the works! One of his fellow volunteers will live right next door and two others will live within walking distance from his house. Very exciting week for him... we can expect an update from the man himself as soon as he can get to an Internet cafe--most likely mid-week.
