saying goodbye

(forgot to get a pic with Dad...oops)

the Georgia sunset at my back

The most beautiful sunset as we left Georgia...

flying into the German sunrise

Moscow at night

Moscow in the morning

This is the view from my window.






I do believe this is a park, but I am not quite sure.

Departure Day

I leave today at 6:10 p.m. It is nine hours to Frankfurt, Germany. There I have a four-hour layover. Then, I fly for three hours to Moscow. I'll be arriving in the evening on Wednesday the 21st.

Say a prayer for me! (I'm slightly nervous.)

"-31...positively toasty."

Oymyakom, Russia, claims that it is the coldest town on earth. In fact, they only close the schools if it gets below -50 degrees C (about -62 degrees F). Interesting video to watch, if you're curious.
