Ewwwww…..Ahhhhhh….
The Victory Day fireworks tonight were very cool. I took this photo showing the horizon of St. Isaac’s around 11:30 p.m. – no tripod, no special setting, it was still light enough.
St. Isaac’s is the third largest church in the world. It will hold 10K standing (as is customary in Russian Orthodox services) worshippers.
Keith was fascinated by the silhoutte of this goose on a nearby bulding. The goose was seemingly not affected by the boom-boom-boom all around us.
We’re quackers about St. Pete!
I think the frantic preparation to travel, preparing to leave our jobs, nine time zone changes, emotional upheaval, etc. caught up with us today. Keith and I have each taken three naps. Given two minutes, I could have been sound asleep at any point today. We were both content to watch the fireworks without “working” at anything. We’re headed to bed for a good night’s sleep before court tomorrow at 12N. Please be praying the judge waives the 10 days so we can begin bonding to Guanna and get her home quickly. Please.
Fireworks are fun. Family is forever.
Hey - It's Us!
