Sorry about taking so long to post again but as always I’ve been busy busy busy! Things in Moscow are still great! I can hardly believe that it is already November but it’s true that time does fly when you’re having fun. This past weekend we went to the US Embassy for a Halloween party thrown by the US Marines. It was a pretty fun party and good to be around other people in costumes. Us crazy Americans got some pretty strange looks on the metro in our costumes. After the Marine party I went to meet up with my friend Oleg and his friend at a party thrown by some people in their rotary club. I attended a rotary meeting last week with Oleg and Masha so I already knew several people at the party.
On Friday our two American professors, Jack and Nancy Kollmann, had everyone over to their apartment for dinner. It was very nice to have a home cooked meal in the company of Americans.
I’m not homesick yet but I’ve starting to notice things about America that I do miss.
I miss:
· ICE in my drinks
· Clean water
· Dr.Pepper
· Mexican food
· Dryers
· Good milk
· The radio
· Driving
· People smiling back at me when I smile at them
November will most likely pass as quickly if not faster than October did because I will be spending such a small amount of time in Moscow. Here is a rough schedule of my travel plans for the month of November. This week I will be going to Istanbul, Turkey for 4 days starting Wednesday night. Then back to Moscow for 3 days then off to St. Petersburg for 8 days!!! Back to Moscow for 4 days then during Thanksgiving break 6 of us are heading to Cairo, Egypt!!!! Obviously I am very excited about seeing all of these places and can’t wait to get started!
Cheers! -Jean Margaret
