well russia has come and gone again. it was better than last time and all thanks to the people that have made the past week so good. traveling has it's rewards, but the hardest part is you are always leaving people behind.

a quick recap since i haven't been able to have much internet time... the weather has been in the 30s and blue sky. typically its about 20ish here with small bits of rain every couple days. i heard that toronto is a little bit hotter at the moment :)

i've seen too many things to list, but i think i did all that i wanted to. not sure what japan will bring but i have several hours overnight on a plane to get through first.
