"Dear girlblue,
...in a week we will be in Djibouti for (drumroll...) the rainy/disease season!!! Yay! At least it will be warm...
...Oh, I DID have some fun teaching the local kids [in Kosovo] how to eat grasshoppers but rather than eating them themselves, they just caught them (quite efficiently) and brought them to me to eat in amused horror. I did, however, get a couple guys from my squad to eat one...they really don't taste bad, you just have to pull the head off (which will pull the guts out) before you eat it. Those guts will make you sick.
And please, say hello to Volkov for me. He'll probably be back form leave by the time you get this, I hope he enjoys himself.

This is part of a ten-page letter I just got today dated 10/9. The snail mail system really sucks.
