Finally in Krasnodar!!

Hi everyone! Well...after 30 LONG hours of traveling, I am now in Krasnodar, Russia! I started my travels on Friday morning at 5:45 am and traveled to the Detroit airport. From there, our group flew to New York City to Moscow, Russia, to Krasnodar, Russia. This doesn't sound like a lot but with 3, 5, and 7 hour layovers, it made for a long trip. Below is a picture I took while flying from New York to Moscow as the sun was coming up! Beautiful!
I am happy to say though, that I am in Krasnodar and am setteled in with my host family. Artur, Olga, and Anna are wonderful. They made a special welcome meal for me tonight including a cake!!! YUM!!! I really am excited to get a chance to travel/tour Krasnodar and share pictures and information with you! Keep checking the blog. I will try to post as much as possible. This is a marker in Krasnodar that celebrates the year the city was founded (or settled). Do you know what year Pittsburg was founded? Look for the signs in Pittsburg the next time you go with your mom and dad in the car. They will have the year that Pittsburg was founded.

  1. Dear Nat, We are in Whitehorse, Canada. No phone or Tv but internet! The day started out great at a dogsled kennel! The dogs were awesome and we had a good lunch further on but things went downhill from there! Our bus went the wrong way by 100km and we were late getting in here! Your dad was not happy! Glad to hear that you are there and all is well! I hope this goes through! Love, Mom
