[nagdu] Just testing, and I am back from Russia

[Vanessa Lowery]

Vacation.  Did not want to go through the hastle of packing an additional suitcase wht dog supplies.  Also did not want to contend with access issues or problems finding relief areas or a vet in the event of an emergency.

Welcome back, Vanessa. Could you have taken Griffin with you? I am sure you covered this before, but I may have been overwhelmed and not read it? Also, I can't remember why you went. Was it with regard to your work or was it a vaca.

I did establish contact wiht a staff member at the school and found out that they were located not that far from Moscow.  However, the school's buildings are under renovation, so I was not able to visit their campus.  There are not that many teams in Russia as compared to the U.S., so I did not encounter any teams just by happenstance.  but if course, if that had happened, it would have been neat.
