So it is now Wednesday morning in Russia, and I am sitting with Gene and Alexander (Sasha) in Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport. The day is sparkling, with temperatures in the high 70's, and clear blue skies. The flight over was quite comfortable, and the only down side was the very early departure from Eau Claire, which means that two of us (Sasha is the exception) got only a few hours sleep in the last 48.
While sitting here, Gene was interviewed by Channel 24, Moscow, about the smoking room in the airport here. We're all so jet lagged, one wonders just what impression of Americans they got from us.
There will be a better posting tomorrow -- with pictures.
