The Further Adventures...: A Farewell Trip - Part IV
http://travelsintheoffseason.blogspot.com/2011/01/farewell-trip-part-iv.html
Sunday, January 23, 2011. A Farewell Trip - Part IV. Every year at year-end, Martha and I list our personal awards, in categories such as best book, best movie, best trip, best weekend, best new place, best new person, best new discovery, and most important goal accomplished. We usually do this in the course of a long phone conversation. This was a chance to do it in person! It was still a long conversation. And then I was looking at the paper and I noticed that Rodney Yee, the star of the yoga DVDs that...

Armenia Dreamin': New Work and Old Favorites
http://armeniadreamin.blogspot.com/2011/07/new-work-and-old-favorites.html
Tuesday, July 12, 2011. New Work and Old Favorites. My counterpart retuned from vacation and now I have a bunch of new things to do! V=U0EccFAUDKU&feature=player embedded. Also, my gender article was the lead story in the latest bulletin - http:/ mca.am/files/publications/13079458990.pdf. UNDP wants to reprint the article, so I may expand it. That was fine too.

Armenia Dreamin': A Few of my Favorite Things - Part II
http://armeniadreamin.blogspot.com/2011/07/few-of-my-favorite-things-part-ii.html
Tuesday, July 26, 2011. A Few of my Favorite Things - Part II. Sunday night, I went to the closing orchestra concert of the season, a Tchaikovsky concert with a cello soloist. The 1812 Overture may never have sounded better; I teared up a bit there too. It’s been great to see so many concerts here! And Will, the A-14 is back in town. If all went smoothly, he’s now a married man – congratulations and best wishes to the happy couple. I did my interview with the MCA-Armenia CEO yesterday. That went well!

The Further Adventures...: Moab to Boulder
http://travelsintheoffseason.blogspot.com/2011/01/moab-to-boulder.html
Saturday, January 1, 2011. I drove a few overlooks and did a teeny hike but didn’t have time for the entire Rim Rock Drive. The next part of the drive was a little challenging, the wiper fluid wasn’t working for a while and the windshield was streaked. I got to Boulder after dark, but not too much after dark. 375 miles today – and friends, wine and stew were waiting! Plus, the friends were interested in learning piffle! January 12, 2011 at 7:44 AM. January 12, 2011 at 1:30 PM. Mekong River, Laos. I set u...

The Further Adventures...: Boulder Days
http://travelsintheoffseason.blogspot.com/2011/01/boulder-days.html
Monday, January 3, 2011. I know that Bob and Cynthia looked at many places before deciding on this one; their embrace of Buddhism came after their move, and it turned out that Boulder is a great place for that. It was interesting to see where the various ingredients come from and of course to know that they are harvested with fair wages and sustainability – wouldn’t it be fun to travel the world and sustainably source something? Next was Chautaqua, a conference center that had some nature paths – w...

The Further Adventures...: Crossing the Craton
http://travelsintheoffseason.blogspot.com/2011/01/crossing-craton.html
Tuesday, January 4, 2011. Before moving on to my new audio book, I had a Lewis and Clark audio book to listen to. I had it all through my time in Morocco but somehow it seemed too out of context to listen to it there. One of the things I noted is that when Lewis returned from his journey he experienced culture shock – although he didn’t call it that. I could relate! I’m still glad I stopped, though I slipped and fell in the mud! It was wonderful to see her, and the B&B in Columbus was very nice. I realiz...

Armenia Dreamin': May 2011
http://armeniadreamin.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 30, 2011. More from Culture Smart - Tidbits. A phenomenon of some supermarkets (such as the one I usually go to! Is the retail “hoverers” who shadow you up and down the aisles (I am glad I read about this so I knew to expect it! Have I talked about dress? And most people do seem fit, though I have seen plenty of non-trim people as well. And where do all of these people go? And, I just found out, it has air-conditioning). Saturday, May 28, 2011.

Armenia Dreamin': Potpourri
http://armeniadreamin.blogspot.com/2011/07/potpourri.html
Sunday, July 3, 2011. I also hope nothing happens while David is the Country Director; he had a lot to deal with in Morocco. I mentioned this to a friend, who said she kind of hopes something does happen for our Safety and Security Coordinator, who is so prepared! With all the wildflowers here, I bet the honey is great. I read recently that Armenia is the only former Soviet Republic with a nearly homogeneous population – of course the Azeris left during the conflict, but right after independenc...Maybe t...
