Petersburg

Photos from St. Petersburg! Today, we helped students in a Russian k-12 school locate St. Petersburg FLA on a map of the U.S.... More to come...

Top 10 awesome things about my trip so far:

Learning history/background of St. Pete, and experiencing city on foot

Actually reading words in Cyrillic

Learning key phrase "thank you" in Russian and getting by on sheer over-confidence in conversations

Easily transitioning to thinking in rubles and a 24 hr. clock

Grinning and bearing the cold, snow, and ice like a good Russian

Saving a fellow pedestrian from slipping and falling in St. Pete

Having tea and cookies while working past closing at the Vytegra History museum, then packing up and walking home (like an actual resident would)

Okay, that's only 8, but it's well past midnight and I have a big day tomorrow!
