We made it to Moscow

I'm on the public computer at the hotel and people are waiting to get on so I'll have to be brief. We had a nice flight over here and things have been great. I can get into detail more when we get to Krasnoyarsk on Sunday because we can't afford this hotel's WiFi service. Which is why we are on the public computer... it's free access.

The picture above is from today (Thursday). David is to the right and our tour guide is on the left. This is a picture down Arbat street. We took a walking tour of Moscow and it was nice. Cold, it snowed a little, but our guide was very informative. My feet are killing me though because I wore my heeled boots. Other than my feet, we are doing great!

One other thing, the picture below is of my boots and you'll notice they are VERY dirty. That would be the only other thing that isn't so great. I've had to wash my jeans hem last night and I'll be washing them again tonight, but they dry really fast so that's cool.
We leave for our medicals tomorrow at 11am so pray for us. We are seven hours ahead of Florida time so you'll probably be sleeping when we're at the medical center. :)

More details to come, probably not until Sunday, though I'll try again when no one is behind me waiting for this computer. Toodles!

I almost forgot one thing, David's thrilled tonight... he found a Marvel comic book... in Russian.

I like your boots, they are much higher than mine! Maybe mine will be ok. I am so excited seeing the picture of Moscow--you are so close to seeing Jack!!!! We will be praying that your medicals go smoothly and quickly! :)

David and the tour guide are really bundled up; showing just how cold it is. The picture of your boots says it all about your walking tour of Moscow. To find a Marvel comic book in Russian; would be a perfect memento.
I am praying for you both and Jack. Thanks for the update!

We have prayer for you last night, at church for your safe trip to Russia. It looks like you and David got there safely. We will be keeping you guys in prayer as you go do the medical end of things, and it will go quickly.

That is great that you and David found a Marvel Comic Book in Rusian, it is a nice memento, to put in your scrapbook for the three of you..

My love to you three...
