Boksita-what?!?

We joined Keith on his monthly adventure to Bositogorsk.  It is a little town 3 hours east of Saint Pete, but some how it took us 6!  Keith introduced us to lots of great people and we got to enjoy more shashlik!!!

Keith and Emme could have moved to Bositagorosk and been totally content.  Emme added 5 new people to her “best friend” list, climbed her first tree and was covered in dirt by the end of the day.  Gid and I, however, struggled a little with giving up the comforts of city-life…even if it was only for 36 hours!!!  I had to trade my morning yummy coffee for instant, Gid replaced the Wii for his DSi, but we all had a great time!!!   

Observation:  Russian roads are brutal, traffic is horrible, but Russia countryside is gorgeous!!!  I must agree with Dorothy, however, there is no place like home…no matter where you live!!!
