So, here is another set of media that I took while on a jog. It’s a little different this time though; I took some video shots, and I’ve posted them to youtube. I would have uploaded them straight onto the blog, but wordpress demands 60 bucks to unlock that function. So it’s on youtube.
BTW, my brother John asked, “So you’ve been running a lot?” The answer is, really, no. I just always have my camera with me when I jog.
The first three links are links to the three videos I took. The last link is to JFK’s presentation on the founding of the peace corps. The sound quality on the videos I took is nothing short of horrible. You’ll have to turn up the volume to hear my voice, threatening to blow out your speakers and ear drums with the screaming wind. But bear with me until the end; the last minute or two of the third video is super sweet. That was the first time I explored the abandoned hospital, so the video was a bit thrilling to make. Since then, I have been using the roof as a private work out space.
Take Care, All my love, More to come,
Ben

Thanks Mom and Davido,
I just passed on the words over breakfast. Kirsty has not been around, but when he gets back, I’ll give him permission to be an absolute terror.
Love you guys,
Ben

Oh man. Just what I needed this morning. Videos of my step brother breathing heavily.
*jokes*
Looks very…Eastern European. Good to hear from you. Keep the updates coming.

Yeah, I will work on that next time. Hide the mike or something. It is very Eastern European.

I WANT THAT ABANDONED HOSPITAL. What an incredible place, Ben. You seem right at home.

Happy 4th- a little late
We do understand you are VERY busy with your studies and engaging in the many social interactions facilitating your connecting with your host family and other persons in Moldova- I do understand your not responding to several of my emails- and hope those who might be reading this comment will take heart with me— and understand as well. Also as Davido noted, you are in a transition of learning now, so hopefully when you are more established in the culture and language acquisition- you will be able to find time to keep us updated more frequently on this blog.
Glad to note we are both using our soccer/football “tools” from the past- you are playing with your new friends in Moldova – Davido and I used our soccer chairs to watch the fireworks last nite!
Love, Mom + Davido
