In other words, minus 28 degrees Celsius. Simply cold. But that's what the Peace Corps says our sleeping bags should be able to handle in Armenia. I can imagine (and find) bags for -10 or -15 degrees Celsius (say 10F), but even that seems cold for indoor temperatures. One can build a warmer shelter in a snow bank.
Come to think of it, do Armenians too sleep in fancy sleeping bags in the winter? Don't they have blankets or possibly comforters? Susan suspects that there's something rather PC-specific about the need for heavy-duty sleeping bags.
This is just one of many strange issues we confront as we start to prepare for our departure. They do keep us busy. At least I (Fred) made a decision today and bought new hiking boots. It's a start.
