THREE WEEKS LEFT

Hello, dear world. I have tried to write at least three new posts, and failed--mostly because I wanted to include a bunch of recent pictures, but my internet doesn't want to cooperate...maybe next time we'll try the pictures again!

It is a perfectly GORGEOUS eighty-degree day here in Moscow--I've been going on long walks everyday and enjoying the sights, smells, sounds, and feelings of nearly-summer...I'm happy, because the world is beautiful, there are exciting things happening here, and I am starting to feel that creepy-crawly anticipation of the flight home!

Tomorrow is Victory Day, which is a really big deal here, understandably so. In the morning, we're going to a huge parade near Red Square, where I'll see lots of tanks, planes, soldiers, and celebration. At night, there'll be a big firework show! It should be a pretty interesting day. On Monday, we're going to the old Moscow circus! I'm trying to fully enjoy the last few weeks, as you can see!

More to come...
