It is officially fall here in Russia. We went to a beautiful park and palace combination today and I got to see history and play in the leaves... does life get much better? I don't think so. :) Ohhh wait it does I also got a new scarf! And this one is SUPER soft, its 50% wool and 50% silk. I <3 it! 
Kensie and I adventured around the park, and got lost for a bit. It was great to be out in the woods again. Once a nature director always a nature director I guess. I just love being outdoors and there is no better time then in the fall when it is cool and brisk and you can walk for hours amongst the trees. The only thing that would have made today an even better fall day would have been football and a bonfire. :) Walking in the woods today was a lot like being back home, and it was fantastic. 
I still can't believe I've been here a month! Or that I will be here for another 2! I've grown accustomed to cars driving on sidewalks, drunks being passed out on Metros, money belts, doing everything in a language I don't understand 99% of the time... it has all become normal daily life. It is such an incredible feeling-- one everyone should get to have. So for you readers out there... STUDY ABROAD, travel "while your young and beautiful" (such a good song). It is one of the most challenging and yet most rewarding things I've ever done! Go outside of your comfort zone, who knows they may have silk sheets there. ;) even though they don't have them in Russia, so don't get your hopes up lol.
