Why thoughtless Thursday you ask? Because we did nothing today. We got off the train at 8:30 am after twelve hours in second class in a cabin as big as my trunk (not that trunk). Four bunks and one Russian woman who spoke not a lick of English and kept talking to me in complete sentences. If I told her once I told her ten times. "I am sorry I don't speak Russian". Oh did I mention she soaked in a tub of Chanel before she boarded the train ??? Guess who slept next to her??? ME!!!! I didn't sleep a wink because Stephane and Chanel snored in sync. All I heard all night was jaclyn saying "Dad stop snoring as she was pushing him reaching across to his bunk". I was just waiting for jac to land on Chanel underneath her.
Natalia picked us up and we had to climb 20 flights of stairs with all the luggage. By the way, I think the train dumped us in Siberia. IT IS FREEZING!!! We stopped for breakfast with Natalia who is pregnant and beautiful.Just thought I would mention that. She is soo very nice. Than we came to our Hotel, "The Old Port" that is being nice. I am serious when I say when you go outside your nose hairs freeze up instantly. We needed to eat dinner so we walked to a Mall that the worker here at the front desk said was right next door we didn't need a shuttle. Well it was walking on a sheet of ice and I couldn't feel my feet the time we got to the mall. We ate at a place called "McFoxy" if you are American you swear that it is a McDonalds same logo same everything except the food. NOT McDonalds!!
So we had to take that same walk but now in the pitch black. Guess who goes down???? ME!!!! Guess who helped me up ??? No one because they were laughing so hard they were on the ground next to me. I should take a picture of my (upper) leg. Its black not blue just black.

I am waiting to hear news about Kiril's blood work from Tanya. I will post the update when I hear!!!
