Today I finished the final exam for my Persian language instruction here in Dushanbe. We are now winding up our stay in Dushanbe, and the plane leaves on Friday morning. Tomorrow will be our "banquet" or large shashlik lunch with all the families and the teachers and...well, everybody. I have to admit that I've been a poor blogger and that there are probably too many people reading this despite the lack of pictures and updated entries. I will do my best over the next two weeks to add quite a few more pictures. With this entry is a picture of me in the 20 degree weather up in the mountains, wishing I had believed the advice that it really would be like winter and that I needed warmer clothes. I threw on a blazer and braved the cold for this picture. Sorry, I don't match!

Here you look like a Tajik girl, i.e. you morph into the backgroud (jk)
Great job! you have done it, you have gone native! ;)
Hi Karen,
I am enjoying your blog site very much. I spoke to your dad and he told me where you were this summer, so I promptly went into your blogger and very happy to see you did update. I have put a DiMaio Family blog site on the internet, still in the beginning stage. I was digging through my mother and father stuff and came across all your post cards that you send to your grandma and pa throughout the years. Karen I was amazed that at a very young age your wrote so beautiful about the new places you were at. I have e-mailed the family your blog site, everybody loves it. Aunt Jean
looks like you had fun. You look like you've gone "native".
That's funny you all say I look Tajik...this was my most "american" clothing...
