WOW how time....

So we have been moving so fast, Aleks doesn't slow down much, since the last time I was able to blog. Not to mention when we get Aleks down we are pretty wiped out and so blogging is the last thing on our minds. But we are getting into a groove and starting to hit our stride. So in the last week we have visited Red Square, the Ismaylovo Market, the US Embassy (YES we are official) and today we visited the Holy Trinity Monastery (Russia's largest monastery). We are doing well and I can't say enough about the hospitality of the Russian people and especially our host family... they have given all for us and we so appreciate them. Well we are in the final stretch... tomorrow is the final paperwork day and then Friday morning we get up at 2am and head to the airport to catch our flight to Amsterdam and then HOME! Stay tuned for more.
