Good bye Belarus, it has been fast and furious, up until the end, where I was so happy to hang out in Minsk! Great City!! Lovely cafes!
17 inspiring families, four different regions, so many great kids and I really feel like I got a taste this time (quite literally).
Lots of home cooking, and LOTS OF CHAI (tea)......did I say LOTS? Have had an amazing experience and wish I could have blogged more, but the internet connections here do not lean towards blogging.....they cut out so often you end up losing it all, repeatedly, so I am rushing this one out:) fingers crossed.
Thanks to the lady who beat the hell out of me during my belo-rus massage, I guess I deserved it) and thanks to the little ladies on my floor who shared tea with me every nite in Minsk:) We had no idea what we were saying to each other, but it was a blast.
Last but not least, today while walking back to the hotel all the traffic was halted for four full blocks, including foot traffic, by the national police. I kept wondering what the heck was going on, and then a motorcade turned right in front of me, all tinted SUV's and the like, you know with flags on the cars, and the man next to me said" The President".....kind of felt like Forest Gump....
Off to Russia!!!!
