Going to Russia

Long desired Visa
Today we received a very special gifts.  We picked up our passports and we were approved for our visa's to Russia.  We had saved this trip for the end of our trip and could not apply for the visas until 90 days before we were to arrive in Russia.  We are now within that window so we applied and are so excited to have these visas.  We are in the process of booking this trip and are so glad we will be able to see Lucas, Jamie, Sam and Sophie.  We just to thank you for praying for us on this item and are super glad for the response we got today.  TG and it isn't even Friday.

One of the fabric streets
Today Jan and I went to an area where most of the shops were fabric shops.  As Jan may have mentioned, we have been buying cloth from each country we visit and will have a quilt made of this material as a souvenier of our trip.  There were a lot of stores and so many different types of fabric that after awhile your mind seemed to blur.

We have had a busy week with the different meetings but now have a break until noon tomorrow.

    Where are all the people at the cloth market? It looks like it's deserted.
