The cal lutheran server deleted my entire email inbox because I had more
than two hundred messages in it or something. Anyway, I can't remember
mom's email so please forward to her and Nancy.
I am back in Moscow for today and then tomorrow morning we are off to
Germany. I did not care much for Petersburg until yesterday. We visited
the royal family's burial and saw the coffins of Catherin the Great and
Peter the Great, among others. We walked by Dostoevsky's prison (it was
being renovated, so we couldn't go in his cell) afterward. It was a long
walk back to our apartment, but we were able to walk along the beach which
was nice. There was some very important person who kept flying on and off
a huge yacht in a helicopter. After the nice walk back to Nevsky, the main
drag of Petersburg, we saw that the entire rode was closed for repaving
and evryone was walking down the middle of the street. We did so too, at
sunset, and got many great pictures. We walked by Kazan Cathedral and saw
many people lounging in front of it. Finally, we thought, there seem to be
humans here.
We need to be fast today - wash our clothes and take quick showers -
packing and prepping for the trip so we can still go to a few more places
before tomorrow. We want to go see a real market, the kind with vendors
and fresh meats and butchers etc. Also, we are hopefully going to finally
see the apartment featured in The Master and Margarita.
Tomorrow Germany
In two or three days Holland
In four or five days France
In five or six days Paris
That is our plan, wish us luck!
