All's Well

We landed at Pulkovo Airport in the outskirts of St. Petersburg on Thursday morning, "Back in the USSR" bumping through my earphones (I had always been a dream of mine, even though it's hokey). Now two eye-opening, delirious days have past and it's time to post. There's so much I want to write about: gigantic dancing fountains, a party at the US consulate, and one exceptional stroke of luck. Unfortunately I have to pack up and get ready to move in with my host family now. I'll do my best to post by the end of the day (or by 4pm EST).
