We Are Still Alive!

Hi everyone! We're in Astrakhan and finally have some email access! We can't get our computer to work (Josh, we need you!) but the hotel has one available for gues use. Oh happy glorious day!

Okay. So, Saturday/Sunday, we flew, walked rpund the neighborhood of the hotel, settled. Monday, we had our physicals in Moscow. Much easier than you would expect from hearing that you have to see 8 doctors. Once that was done, around 3:30, we played tourist. Our translaters took is to Red Squat\re, St. Basil's cathedral, Lenin's tomb & the Kremlin. We didn;t have time to go into any of them, but we were there, right in front. Totally amazing. We also saw the KGB building, cool! Then we went souvinir shopping on Arbot Street, which was lots of fun.

Today, Tuesday, we tried to go shopping (there's a little problem with my clothes - as in, my suitcase is lost and Delta still can't find it. I can keep washing my tee shirt, but I will need something nicer than jeans for court. Unfortunately, I couln't bring myself to pay $200 for a simple shirt in Moscow, or $135 for pants, so I'm still smelly. Let's hope that either my suitcase shows up or that strakahn is a bit more reasonable!

Tomorrow we get to see Little Sister two times! We'll also do some fficial stuff, but that's our big excitement.

Larry is drooling over the computer, so I must let him on now. More whenever we can!
