I'm going to try to add some pictures from today. It's been a great one. The weather was wonderful, probably about 70. I feel like I'm at summer camp with all the girls in the dorm getting ready this morning. It's so interesting making all the observations about the constrasts with American life. I've already developed a reputation with our leader as being outspoken. I've told Dr. Green that we have decided on the name Papa for him and everyone puts me up to being the one to ask him when we have questions. It's great having him around to fill us in about the history of the places we are seeing. It's hard to get your mind around the dates of the things we see. At least the 1500's, nothing is that old in the good ole US. We went to Lenlin's tomb--the best part there was seeing how the guard's reacted to us when we made a little noise. They were all shhhhhhhhh. We toured the oldest buildings in Russia and weren't allowed back on the streets--we waited awhile and got to see Obama go by in the big black limo! I've just tried to add these pictures but was having to read Russian as I did it so all you got was these two pictures. I'm learning and the guy at the internet cafe speaks limited English so this blog may sound crazy!!It's so much fun learning all these new things. Two of the guys that came with us are Russian Orthodox. They have filled us in on there church. They are having a great time seeing where their church began. I'm going to try to add a picture of the church, if possible
