I sit at a computer at the hostel in Moscow today. I take an overnight train to Riga, Latvia tonight at nine. I try to think of a way that I can update you with all of the things that have happened to me in the past week. I have only about five minutes left on the timer to do it.
Rest assured, my banking situation is better- emergency funds from Donna, then a very apologetic letter from citibank. It is as if all employees with brains left for holiday during fourth of July weekend and did not come back. So, the money front is good.
I spend four lovely days in Kostroma- a small city on the Volga with beautiful beaches, friendly people who do not speak English and two incredible Monastaries. It was also a time for me to rest a little after my trials.
I then went to the town of Vladimir- accent on the second syllable. It rained hard the whole time- There is a lovely little church built in 1200 where a woman gave me a tour all in Russian. She wouldn't stop. I could not understand a word. See you next time, gotta go.
