I have great news! We finally got the internet fixed!!
Not that internet is the best news in the world... but it's nice to have. You should have heard us last night... "I've given up on the internet." "Yeah, it's good to not be distracted by the internet all the time."
And what do ya know, we got somebody to fix it today.
So in other news, the weather has been crazy. Last week was fantastic!! It was warm, a little sunny, and perfect for walks. On Saturday it got up into the 70s! Then Sunday, it rained. Then today, Monday, it snowed... which of course turned into slush since the warm ground wasn't ready to handle it.
So remember how I said Saturday was in the 70s? Well, it also happened to be the day that we took a trip up into the mountains for a chicken shashlik (which is similar to a shishkabob) cookout. A bunch of our american friends came as well. We piled in 2 vans and 2 cars to take the 45 minute drive up there. Upon our glorious arrival, we jumped out, and hurried into a flat open space for an epic game of Ultimate Frisbee. I've never been so happy to run. Some of the guys set up a really cool zip line too, which inspired me to finally bring out my GoPro camera. It was a great day. But, we had to rush back to the city for an english club spring party. Jessica got to share part of her life story with the Russians. I think it went very well. Then we hurried home to make Mexican burritos for dinner (how many people can say they've eaten Mexican food in Russia? exactly).
I've been enjoying spending time with our local friends at english club. It's been so good and I have a feeling the next three or four weeks are about to get really good.
Keep us in memory.
Stand firm and press forward.
I love you all!! Bye!
