Fun in Petro

We are having a lot of fun in Petro. Found a couple of great restaurants, including traditional Karelian cuisine. We also went to the movies and tried to enjoy star wars in Russia. Today we went bowling and walked in the park behind the hotel. This was Kirril's first bowling adventure and he did not do too bad. He was dancing and jumping anytime he got to hit something. We also went to Kirril's school today. He seemed to be having a hard time going to school. He told the director that he is comming to America and did not needed school there. David and I (with Natalia's help) had a serious talk about that this afternoon. He is also having a hard time sleeping at night and he keeps asking if we are comming in the morning. It will be hard when we leave but we are trying to prepare him as much as we can. Tomorrow we are going to see Vika and the rest of the children. We have arrange the trip with the director so it is very possible that we will see everybody. We will take lots of picture and video. Some might not be great since Kirril has become the official filmaker of the trip.
Meredith, I am glad to know you are comming soon. The weather has been very nice and we have seen quite a bit of the city. By the way, my boots are not too bad, wait until you see the women here. I have never seen a bigger variety of boots and high heels in my life!!!!!. The hotel has a gym that you can use for free between 7 and 9 but we have not been there yet.
By the way, the debate is big news here. You can watch it live at 3 am.

Good Night From Russia to all of you

David and Celia
