We have just finished our 3rd day here at St. Petersburg. It is 11:00 pm, still light outside and we just finished our preparations for tomorrow’s first day in the orphanage. The team seems to be doing fine and excited to begin work tomorrow.
We have spent the past days learning the Russian language, culture, and history and have had the chance to visit the Hermitage, the Cathedral of Spilled Blood, and other historical landmarks of St. Petersburg.
The team is very good at using the unerderground metro system and have had the chance to taste several noted Russian dishes.
