Happy Thanksgiving to one and all. I am having my normal Asian difficulties this morning. Seems to never happen when I go to Europe but Asia always gets me. That includes Egypt since it’s partly in Asia as well. I am just happy it didn’t happen when we were at the canyon. That would have been really bad. Hopefully things will come under control with the medicine. If not it will be a very miserable day. The morning and afternoon activities have been cancelled. I hate being sick. Rejep is returning to Balkanabat to escort another group of English speaking tourists. He has been a wonderful host. Bonnie and I wish him long, healthy, and prosperous life.
We do have internet here. It costs $6 per device per stay. So I got it for my laptop this morning and for my phone this evening. My brother Ed has an old Mac and it wouldn’t Skype so we used FaceTime on the phone to talk with them since it’s over the internet. We could get any video because of the bandwidth but the voice worked just fine. Some day all calling will be voice over internet protocol (VOIP).

I am feeling much better this evening and hopefully we will be able to get out to do tomorrow what we were scheduled to do today. Only time will tell. Had chicken soup for dinner. Not much to write home about but thought I would be able to handle that for the evening. We are trying to download a couple of movies from iTunes but they are taking forever. There are two English channels on TV, one is BBC news and the other is Euro News. Both pretty much the same and the same format as CNN. The same stuff is repeated over and over.
Hopefully tomorrow with be a better day.
