We are leaving for Russia in 36 days (I can't wait!) and we'll post our adventures here in case you want to catch up with us occasionally.
The Neva River runs through St. Petersburg, and N's parents live quite close to it. Wikipedia tells me that it is the 3rd largest river in Europe (after the Volga & the Danube).
We are slowly learning Russian. We are both functional with the Cyrilic alphabet and are bringing lessons with us (thanks Tristan!). Russian makes me appreciate how much Spanish, French, & Portuguese I know...Someday we'll go somewhere that speaks Spanish and I'll become fluent.
2 1/2 more weeks of work, traveling to visit friends in the SW, and then off we go.
well, did you get there?
