Home Safe

Just making a quick post to say that I got home safe.  The trip was pretty long, and at times the children on the flight almost lost it, but it turned out to be entirely tolerable.  Customs and passport control were quite pleasant, and the entire landing to out-the-door process only took about 30 minutes, which all told is pretty solid.

One more day...

Just one more day in Russia for me.  Tomorrow we've got a get together at the school at 10-12 to sing songs and tell jokes in Russian (oh joy).   Then, at 4pm, we are all going out to a dinner together.  The people doing internships will be here for a couple more weeks, so I suppose it is a bit of an anti-climax, but for the rest of us, we are looking forward to a fairly light last day.

Wendesday moring I leave here bright and early (and thanks to Russia's northern latitude, it really will be bright).   I'll be home sometime in the evening EST.

I want to remind everyone that is interested that I will probably make around 3 more posts or so after I return posting on some highlights of the trip that I didn't fully talk about in my posts, and to post links to more pictures from the trip.  So, if you are intersted, keep checking for a week or so after I get back.  Alternatively, most of you will see me in person sooner or later, so bug me about it then (but not too much please!).

Poka!
