St. Petersburg was great. We had lots of fun visiting the Hermitage, a tour of the city and Pushkin's college. (Pushkin is the most famous Russian Poet). The night trains to and from St. Petersburg were hard to sleep on, but it was a new experience for many of us. We met some kids from School 42 (in a Siberian city) who taught us some new games, including one that translates to English as "Stupid." Della was very good at this game. Dani had a good conversation with a family who lived in Kamchatka, the far east of Russia (right picture). We're in Elektrostal, taking showers and repacking. As soon as we're done, we'll be headed back to Moscow and from there to the camp at Istra. Should be back in Moscow by July 14.

Was the game called "Doo'rahk"? (as a rough transliteration!) I've heard that it's fun! Glad that you guys are having so much fun, and very jealous! Jonelle Fodge
