time to go home...

about 4.5 hours until our bus is leaving for the airport (4 am st petersburg time). we should arrive in atlanta about 4 p.m. est and i am certainly looking forward to being in the states again. it was one hell of a trip, words can't describe the experience. i've made some lifelong friends and had the opportunity to do things most never dream of doing in a lifetime. i'll miss russia, but the good news is i can always come back. i can't wait to see all of you!
