America!

My second phone call! But this one was for longer than an hour! Yippie. Thanks for calling Todd. It was so nice to just talk and know that everything I said would be completely understood. I’m going to be completely out of commission as far as the phone is concerned for about two weeks in August and then again in August for some time after that. On August 3rd I head to Novosibirsk on a hiking excursion I’ll be back on August 17th and then sometime after that I’ll be headed to Estonia to renew my visa. I haven’t decided yet if I’ll fly to Moscow or St. Petersburg to take the train/bus from there or if I should train it all the way. Jim & Sally recommended a flight with a train – I’ll keep you posted.
