We have internet as of late Saturday afternoon. Hence the posts. I hope to do more soon, showing our apartment and it's uniquely Soviet features, but we'll see how quickly that happens. I have taken a few pictures in preparation, but not enough to do the posts and keep forgetting to take pictures when I should (you know, when the laundry is folded, or when there is enough daylight to help the pictures come out).
Also, I attempted to upload a video last night. It was a large video--2 minutes long--but it didn't load. I will try again with some shorter ones, but I'm not sure how it will work out. Internet is different out here and we don't have the bandwidth that we had in the U.S.
Our neighbor Andrey has been amazingly helpful in all of our attempts to get access to our connection since last Tuesday, and he was joking with Chris on Saturday that we had to come to the former Soviet Union to understand how wonderful the internet really is, because it is so difficult to obtain and it's through those difficulties and challenges which are so frequent here that we learn to really appreciate things.
