. . .which is next to the city of Radovis (pop. 30,000) which will be good for weekend shopping and is in the wine country. Kate is in the next closest city. They seem to have kept the group together throughout this area which is SW of Veles. Michelle will head out on Tuesday for a three day visit. We found two websites that show the school and an aerial view of the village and will try to add them to the end of this blog when Jennifer comes out on Sunday. John and I were unsuccessful tonight. Technology!!!!! Ain't it wonderful.
The group heads to Kumanovo tomorrow for their bi-weekly HUB meeting. Michelle's group has put together a Halloween skit about "bromia" (mentioned in an earlier post: you can't have more than one window open in a room at a time or else you will get a cross breeze; or bromia; which is very bad). They put together some rough costumes and are performing the skit to Queen's Bohemian's Rhapsody. After language lessons all week they are looking forward to seeing the rest of their group and talking about their new assignments.
Tuesday night their language teachers invited them over to one of the teacher's homes for a Mexican dinner. The teachers were very nervous about preparing Mexican food. Michelle said that they did an amazing job.
They played "Catch Phrase" a language game. One of the teachers actually got up on a chair to do her interpretation of one of the phrases!! Michelle said that they had a great time and left with very full bellies.
Little Melanie got a stuffed animal Lamb this week from the package I sent. She loved it!!!
I apologize for sending this out so late but I had to watch It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. The girls and I always watch the Charlie Brown holiday specials togther. But with one daughter in Macedonia and the other at the Washington National Horse Show downtown, John stepped up to the plate and watched it with me!!!! I'll post on Sunday. Auntie Carol will get the Sunday call (John and I are busy) and she will pass the latest info along to me. Kathy

2. Find the best place to buy locally produced cheese.
3. In America, we say, She looked the other way. In Japan, they say She closed one eye. In Korea, they say, Her eyes are covered by the bean's skin. What do they say in Macedonia?

5. Take a picture of the view out your bedroom window every morning at the same time...or afternoon...for the entire two years.
