We Made it to Moscow!

Well, we made it! Its been quite a long journey across the world, but we are excited to finally be in our apartment!

My parents brought us to Logan Airport, after of course, stopping for some food on the North End! Our plane was supposed to leave Boston at 7:50, but there was a malfunction with one of the doors, so we were a half hour late taking off. Not a problem, our plane was great with indivudual movie screens on the back of each seat, so that was nice! We landed in Munich with plenty of time to spare to make our connecting flight even though we were late landing. However, our flight from Munich to Moscow was delayed, too! Argh! We were bussed to the plane at the normal take off time, but then we waited and waited and waited. About after 35 minutes, another bus pulled up with a bunch of Russian musicians. They came on the plane, and it took them about another half hour to get their instruments strapped down and secure...what a sight!

But, we got to Moscow with no problem and so did our luggage! Olga, our facilitator was there waiting for us, she was a welcomed sight! She and our driver took us to the apartment that we are staying in for the weekend. Our apartment is nice and clean, so this is good. The building that we are in is, well, weathered.

Our plan for tonight is to chill out and go to bed early. We are meeting Olga in the morning to get our medicals done, she says this should take about 2 hours...waiting for the doctors, and the appointments themselves. After that, we are free to run about the city of Moscow until Sunday night!
