So here we are in Russia finally, and it's already a very different world than Germany. Our baggage was lost, and it didn't really seem like a very rare occurance. They had a busy room dedicated to others who had lost their luggage. Fortunately this is the part of our trip where we met up with vodkatrain, so we have contacts who can speak russian for us.
Billy (Dan and my father) joined us in Germany for the last week, and we had a blast visiting with Susanne and Hannes in Hannover, and meeting their friend Peter Lindenberg in Berlin, who is a professional artist that makes beautiful work in Berlin. He showed us the artistic world of Berlin, which was incredible and very different.
There are lots of great stories to tell, but I'm too tired to write much more that's coherent right now, but we are alive and well! I'm not sure how often we will be able to write during the next 3 weeks (internet may not be available everywhere that we go), so don't be too worried if you don't hear from us frequently. Pictures may have to wait until we're back to be uploaded, but we'll see!
Dasvidania (or however you write goodbye in Russian),

if you guys get this in the next couple weeks, you have to let me know where those hikes in cinque terre are! I just looked at your pictures, and seeing as I'm planning on heading there pretty soon......please?
Just get a map of Cinque Terre when you're there, and take off into the interior. If you start on the northern most town (forget it's name), you can see all kinds of good stuff, I think that was our favorite one. There are good interior hikes from everywhere though.
Dan.
