The plane ride from Chicago was a ten-hour flight. It was nice that they had a TV on the seat backs. There were two movies just for kids and there were lots of different games. Zachary got a good deal of sleep on the airplane, but I only got about two hours because it is hard for me to sleep on planes and I was so excited.
It was great touring Red Square. I think my favorite event was the changing of the guards. I also liked Lenin's Tomb. I liked all the mystery around it because the body could be wax or it could be his real body. Both of our guides are really nice and we're thankful to have them on this cool adventure.
My favorite Russian food is probably borsch, which is beet soup. Today at The Kremlin we found kvas, a traditional Russian drink. It tasted interesting, but I don't think any of us were big fans of it.
We met some kids on the playground. I played soccer with a few of them. I didn't really talk to them, but it was interesting playing with people I couldn't talk to. Two girls came up and talked to me, and they were nice. One was 12-years-old and her name was Dasha, the other was 9-years-old and her name was Tarmin.
The Metro station was very convenient, and it was very fast transportation. I wish we had that kind of transportation in Seattle. It was a little hard to get used to at first, but once I got used to it, it was even more fun than riding in a car!

Hi Jacob,
I'm so glad my prayers for you and your brother to meet up with some soccer players was answered.
Oh, by the way, Richie Sexon was let go by the Mariners yesterday.
He'll probably go to the Yankees and play in the World Series now!
Keep writing...I enjoy your writings. Miss you but glad you are having a good time.
Love Always,
Nana (Your Babushka)
