Valentine's Day in Krasnodar

Thirty-two hours after leaving Albuquerque, we've arrived.  It took 4 flights this time, as we stopped in Frankfurt Germany (and taxied forever!).  Did see one of Boeing's new dreamliners parked at the gate next to ours.  Eleven hours in layovers total.  I feel sorry for our poor driver & facilitator, they had to pick us up in the airport at 12:15AM.  We did get a few hours of sleep on the plane, but still not feeling 100% today. 
It's cold in Russia, but not as cold as it has been in the last few weeks.  A bit warmer in Krasnodar.  We will be bringing our gift of mild 'El Pinto' to our facilitator as we promised.  When we were here in December, she found that Heinz makes a mild salsa, and tried it with her friends she was staying with.  It looked like spaghetti sauce to me.  We'll see how 'the world's best salsa' goes over. 
We get to go visit the orphanage today.  This is our Valentine's day present.  Hopefully our baby girl won't be mad at us for being gone so long.  Who knows, she may throw her toys at us!  We're thinking she may have a little 'attitude' in her personality.
