The Apartment



The two primary advantages of the apartment over a hotel is we have a kitchen, and it is $50-$100/day cheaper. Our apartment is on the 9th floor of one of four apartment building surrounding a quad with a small playground. There is also a paved drive around the edge of the quad where cars are parked using a shoe horn. One of the buildings has a grocery store on the ground floor.

Geoff would like to go for a run, but we haven't asked if it is safe. Just in case, he packed a jump rope. The fact that we have a double door to the hall that can be triple bolted is not encouraging.

A major disadvantage to the apartment are that we don't know if there are any Americans near us.

FYI, the sunrise is beautiful this morning.

It looks really nice. Can you beleive that you just wrote that it is $50 to 100 cheaper, is that crazy or what. How's the weather in Kras -- I bet it is already cold.

Dad and I just got back from our weekend in Branson (and it was GREAT). With the time change taken into account, you may be in court right now. You are definitely in our thoughts and prayers and will be throughout this month. May God go with all three of you every step of the way!!

Do you know how far are you from the hotel Krasnoyarsk? If you could get here we could get together with many American families for dinner or something. Anyway, good luck tomorrow on your court day.
