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.

    We're so happy for you. Now you can start enjoying yourself. Take 200 pictures a day. If you need to, sign up for a free account at flickr.com so you have room to store all the extra pics your camera can't hold. And upload more pics to your blog!
