This is the rest of my very wonderful Host Family that I will live with until August 15th when we get our 2 year assignment. Like my family of origin in Indiana....... cousins, aunts/uncles, and grandparents abound. The extended family is central. This photo shows the younger daughter, Emma, who is 20 working with her "tateek" (grandma) sorting greens for dinner which are on the table for every meal. The youngest member of the family, Vache ( probably mispelled it) is 18 and attends University an hour away in the capital (Yeravan). He is my English interpreter when I get stuck....more often than I would like. The mother, Gohars, is here holding one of the cousins that came to visit. Children immediately become the center of attention.
