Russia so far...

I finally made it to russia, and it's been an adventure of a life time so far... It's been CRAZY!

I have pictures of all the adventure so far so lets start the tour together...

This is us before we left the airport, go bye to our parent and on to denver. We took barbie around the aitprot and took pictures with her. Our next stop was in Germany, and we slept once we land till we took off for st petersburg. One we got to the airport in st petersburg, got our lugage. People were waiting for us with out pictures and off into there car we were headed towards what we didnt know. I've never been so scared in my life, and i wanted to curl into a ball and cry. lol i met my host mom, her name is Galina, and doesnt speak an ounce of english. Haha we use actions to commuicate and she feds me really well.. to bad the food isnt the best! :) i have my own room and my own cupboard. I'm very lucky and i love living there. The first few days, we did some great exlporing aroung the city center, and found some really cool stuff...

We went to the mcdonalds, subway, pzza hut and kfc already. We've hit almost every american food place. We had to get our blood taken in this haunted house creppyvile, and they prink our fingers so deep, it hurt super bad!

The next one was our first day of church, literial mircle we found the church, good thing we have lots of faith! OMg, some guy had a pet bear in the park and was just sittin on a bench. The bear was sucking his hand, and just chillin. It was insane! This is some of the girls i came with and s biulding of some sort,( idontknow yet) The food isnt so bad, but my host mom really had a fish just sitting in the fridge here. It is so gross, i just had to post it! haha We starting teaching the little children. Dont be fooled by the cute faces, they really are little demons right now. I teach the five year olds, and the 7 years olds with danielle. They kids are cute, but it has been quite the chalenge so far, but it will get better, it always does!

Here are some pictures from exploring the city center of ST petersburg...

Those chair are the 12 wonders of the world, and we got to sit in them. We also got to take a cute pictues with the girls and the male statue... haha haha (i'm so immature!) hehe

Every saturday we get to go travel and look at a different place in history, and this saturday we went to Peterhof, This was a house of peter the great, and it had 155 fountain spread over acers and acers of land. It was really pretty and so amazing. I hope you enjoy all the pictures.

I dont have alot of time to blog, but that is the jest of everything so far. Russia is a very different country, but i'm learning to love it everyday. It is very beauiful, and the fashion here is amazing. Never a dull day... but if you have any other questions, just let me know.. :) you can email me also, my email is jess2hurley33@yahoo.com

I miss everyone at home and i love you all!
