VACATION

5 December 2005
"Off to Riga we go! We are on the train right now, and we will be there in about 15 hours. Today we got into Samara after a long train ride from Penza. The Russians have this funny idea that since it is cold outside, you need to burn the cabins up. That means that you just die as you try to sleep and sweat to death. It is a pain. Well, we sat in the office for a bit before we were finally able to leave to the airport.

In Moscow, we had plenty of time to see the city. We went to Red Square and checked it all out. It was way sweet. We then went to TGI Fridays and pigged out. It was so sweet to get some really good food. We then walked around for a bit before we got on this train, and soon we will be in Riga. I am excited, and it should be way cool there."
