How American can you get?
Today another volunteer and I ran a 5K in Bishkek for an organization called Alpine Fund which helps orphans by taking them hiking and camping into the mountains. I was worried because I am probably in the worst shape of my life but we didn't come in last so that's the most important thing. There were only about 50 of us running and we certainly got weird looks but let's be honest, we were only doing it for the t-shirts.
After the run we went to a small coffee shop that we just discovered and had the best coffee I've had in a year and little deli sandwiches with pastrami (completely unheard of). We felt like we were practically in America. I don't know if it was the endorphins or the coffee but today we both found ourselves in the best moods ever. If it's anything I've found, it doesn't take a lot to make me happy here.
