lets start moving along, shall we?

Hello folks, internet access has been rather unavailable, with about enough to post an email and then move on, but now I seemed to have found a spot which will occasionally give me internet access at home.. and i'll try to post something quick before it goes away again.

Arriving in the mythic city of st. petersburg was, well, educational. The stories I've read, have become a reality:



Instead of free Bibles in the hotel rooms, its something far more useful... to me at least. I like it here already:



Yup, and here are some shots of the city in action. The building are all very old looking, with the insides looking much like the outsides -- a perpetual romantic sketch of a city which has survived a war or two.



Even as this country accepts its new capitalistic future, many feel sorry that Lenninist/Communist Russia is gone and soviet imagery remains without issue. I hear the food was better back then, too. It seems like preservatives follow closely behind the iron curtain. Not a surprise.


Well, before my internet cuts out, I'm going to leave with an image of my desk.. a week ago. This weekend I'll post up some photos of the apartment I live in and try to stick some more really information into these posts :) Also, I have a photo that everyone over at the Turtle House will love. But that's for the next post :) Until then, take care.
