Glimpes of First Impressions

I wanted to add a picture of the car that I loved, but also ran over my feet/legs!

Friends in Moscow - we went to eat at...  I think you can figure it out. :)

I had the opportunity to visit some friends from my time last 3 years I had been here.  

So, if you don't receive my emails, This is a glimpse of the "hotel" room I  stayed in during my  18 hour delay in Moscow to go out to Yakutsk.  The room was cold, but it had a shower and a lock on the door.  The airline paid for our "hotel" stay.  

This day it looked like there were 3 suns in the sky.  It was so neat!  It had to be a reflection on something.  

My 2nd full day here I went to a local museum.   I have spent some time with quite a few of these students.  It is a good group.  

One beautiful Cold day!  Yes, this is me!

This is a group of students that I have gotten to know a bit since being here.  They are so helpful  and kind.  2 of them took me boot shopping!

So these are some of my classmates on the first cold day we had here.  -43*F/-42*C.

In this cold, people generally leave there cars running so they can start them again.  

This is very close to the university, an area where people have built their own homes.
