The New Member

We welcome a new addition to the Ballard Family. Now we have a 10 day waiting period. But the last day is on a weekend, so we won't be able to get him untill that Monday. During the waiting period we can go see him. The trip there and back cost 3500 rubles. (120$) So we have to space out our vists. After that Monday we have to get the passport and we will be leaving Krasnoyarsk on the 18th, heading to Moscow.
