Well, dearest readers, somehow it is already that time in the semester when we head to Moscow and then off into the blue yonder. In anticipation, the past few days have gone by even faster than usual - which is saying something. We went to the opera at the concert hall of the Mariinsky Theater Wednesday night, Mozart's The Magic Flute. It was very well done, in a slightly modern style and in Russian (the latter rather unfortunately, in my opinion), the music was wonderful and they made it almost an interactive experience with some of the performers singing while walking through the audience and even surprising one woman so much that she screamed quite hysterically, which then threw the rest of the audience into a nice fit of laughter. It was a fun evening, and afterwards I met up with Jay and Brian at a cafe closer to home before heading home to pack and finish up some pre-vacation work. And now in just a few hours we'll be on the train, we're meeting up to get some snacks before hand and then heading to the train station. Tomorrow morning at first light we'll be in Moscow! I'm not sure whether I'll be able to post from my iPod - we are staying in a Holiday Inn and hoping that that means we'll actually have internet this time. I head to Copenhagen on Sunday, and will then buy a ticket to get to Stockholm on Wednesday, returning to Piter on Easter Sunday!
I hope all is well back home, and would appreciate you keeping me and all of us traveling this week in your prayers! I will be in touch as much as I can! Much love - b
