Made it to Moscow


We made it to Moscow and are so thankful to be settling into our new surroundings. We really enjoyed our time in Saint Petersburg. We saw so many sights, walked so many miles, took so many photos, and sweat soo many buckets!!! Some of our favorite memories were visiting the Cathedral of Our Lady of Kazan during an Orthodox service, playing on a nice, shaddy playground, called Micheal's Garden, located along one of the many canals and next to a gorgeous Cathedral (called the Cathedral of Our Savior on the Spilled Blood), and Kristie and Gideon's favorite memory was zooming around Peterhof (the location of the Summer Palace) on a bicycle taxi. Our most stressful memory was at the Peter, Paul Fortress at an Exhibition of Tourture Instruments used during the Spanish Inquistion. We thought the Director was going to personally demonstrate some of the techniques after we failed to close our stoller that was left in the entryway (at the request of the receptionist) and after Keith stepped on the carpet before putting on his "hospital type slippers." It has been so hot, ME has heat rash and Gideon and ME each have over 25 mosquito bites! See more photos at www.the4sullivans.photosite.com!!!
