I will be returning to Russia exactly one week from today, so I'm restarting this blog. I'll be living in St. Petersburg this time. The word on my host mom, Nina Vasilievna Dovgart, is that she enjoys crosswords, music, and knitting. She has a son, Alexei, who is married and lives separately but visits often. I'll live near the center with a 15 minute walk to school. So far so good.
On the way back home from Russia, I'll be stopping by Germany to do some independent travel for a couple weeks. I'll be back home on December 30th.

I definitely have different expectations and goals going into the semester this time around. I guess that's obvious, last semester was my first trip to Russia and I didn't know what to expect. I'm gonna try to travel more, make more Russian friends, immerse myself in the Jewish community and speak a lot less English. But we'll see what happens.
You're back in Russia? This is great! Isn't Petersburg beautiful in summer? Where do you want to travel to in Russia?
ReplyDeleteHey Luke, sorry I never saw this comment! So yes, I'm back in Russia. I love St. Petersburg, the weather is phenomenal. We're going on the Volga trip in a few weeks, and we'll be seeing many of the cities that I'm interested in. I'm definitely visiting Vladimir again. Other than that, I don't know, I guess I just want to go anywhere for the sake of seeing as much Russia as I can.
