So Many Things, So Little Time To Explain

Well, school is going to start on Tuesday and I'm excited and a bit nervous. I mean, only two more days! I hope and pray that school is going to go well and I will have many friends when it is over!!

I just found out that sometime around Christmas my brother and sister( in russian, that would be brat and sestra!) will be coming to visit us here in Moscow! I am sooooo excited and I can't wait!! That is something to look forward to.

The factory tour was awsome! Did you know that matryshkas are hand made? I would know, because I saw them carve and paint the dolls myself. One thing I have to say is that all those little details were painted by a very talented person. It was hard to paint the details on the doll, especially the face! I kept messing it up, but I eventually fixed it. We also had a chance to see a monastery, but they made us pay for a tour because it was too obvious that we were a group. That was unfair because others were getting in for free! Some of us, inclueding me and my mom, didn't do the tour. Instead, we went to a market outside of the monastery, where we bought some things.

Well, I have to go. Das Vi Danya!
