Ya Ustala
It's 12:37 a.m. here, but see how dedicated I am? This may be the shortest post yet, but I'll do my best... (and rest assured I'll come back and lose you in minutia after the train ride tomorrow...) Yesterday we visited a penal colony, especially for former cops who'd been caught in crimes. Then, we we to a telecommunications firm. After that, a Rotary meeting. Today, up early for a tour of a museum of the history of Irkutsk, follwed by a visit to the Great Baikal Trail Association, then on to the Humanitarian Center and Library, and another Rotary meeting. The evening was capped off by a 4 hour boat ride on the Angara (I finally know the correct English spelling) aboard a police boat. Good times. I'm trying to stay up long enough to get some more photos up, so scroll down and click my flickr link and visit Siberia V to see the latest. G was good enough to upgrade me to Flickr "Pro", so I can post more than 200 pics at a time. Who knew I'd ever need that?!?! On to Ulan Ude tomorrow night, and hopefully I'll get up that "bore you to tears" post then... :)
Missing everyone!!!

Awesome photos, Margaret! What an education you are getting, as well as us. We miss you. Have fun, but hurry back. And watch out for those surprising Shamans! --Ann
Hey "Lady",
"It's Me Again, Margaret."
Your pictures are great!!! Thanks for taking us along with you. You are teaching me so much about the culture of Russia.
How are we going to "keep them(you) down on the farm when they've (you've) seen Paree(Siberee)?" Don't forget you are a "Red Neck Girl" from "Oklahoma" who has "The Eyes of Texas (Are) Upon You." I know you are gathering "Memories" which will be with you the rest of your life. Your dad wants you to come home and sit out on the porch "Just A' Swinging." Oh by the way, we now have a "Little Rabbit Foo Foo" eating the morning glory shoots.
So many of the names of your posts would make good song titles. Have you considered writing and publishing songs which are appropriate for those titles? OOPS--I think that may have already been done although not in the same order as I am suggesting. Some people are so afraid of trying innovative ways to accomplish the tasks they are involved with. Maybe the "All American Rejects" would appreciate my input--what do you think?
Love, Mom
I miss you too! But it's so exciting to read about and see pictures of your adventure.
