This morning my back hurt. It might have been from swimming.
This is a patagonia swimsuit. I looked at suits at REI and they were not cheaper than this. I decided to go with patagonia because I think it's great. Also good reviews.
I was trying to decide between getting a J.Crew one piece and a more sporty one. I opted for the sporty one and I think I made the right decision. The J.Crew suit was pretty! I will have it one day.
I am definitely enjoying the food here. The great Russian tradition of eating dessert after each meal is just fantastic. As my aunt says, if you don't have dessert after a meal it's like you haven't eatten at all. I completely agree. I am eating blini in this picture.
I'm trying to run here, but it's hard to get out of a warm apartment into the cold. I am still planning to the run the 1/2 marathon doing laps around the monument. Stay tuned for more info on that. I think I'm going to walk 400 meters every 3 miles.
The train was awesome. This guy who was riding with us really wanted to talk to me in English which was weird but fun. He also studies programming but we couldn't really talk about anything of value as his English and my Russian are limited, especially in CS area.
I was really tired and fell asleep really fast. I woke up at 3am because everybody around me was snoring really loud. I put my earplugs in and went back to sleep. I woke mom up at 5:30 so we had time to drink tea and brush our teeth. (They close the restroom an hour before the train gets to the station.)
Grandpa didn't come to the train station. :-( But grandma did! We came home and watched my ballet video first thing. It is gooooood!
