We made it to St. Pete at 4pm and we were met by Galina (agency facilitator), Luda (translator) and Sasha (driver). We were able to go to the Ministry of Education for our meeting with the committee. She explained to us all the information she had on Baby B and advised us we are scheduled to meet him tomorrow at 3:15pm. Our plans for tomorrow are to meet Luda for breakfast at 930am. We are going to tour the Hermitage all morning and then go the baby home. We met another American couple at the MOE who arrived late from St. Louis. The baby they are meeting is at the same home as Baby B. We will most likely see them at the baby home.
It is not as cold as we expected. The temperature is similar to NY with the exception that there is snow everywhere! We are staying at the Courtyard Marriott which is a new hotel –only open 2 months. It is very nice. We are going to go to dinner in a little while and watch some Russian TV.
For all of you out there who are missing our faces—I've included our first picture taken in Russia!
Talk to you soon.
Paka,
Jodi
