28.08.09
Traveling always takes a lot out of a person, but especially when the travel leads to the unknown. The feelings of excitement and nervousness have taken over at the moment. Time is something I have a hard time comprehending. We haven’t really slept since yesterday morning, which is now according to my watch 36 hours ago, but in reality is only 28. Still, this is long time to go without sleep in a stress filled situation. Two plane rides, a bus ride, and many long and heavy luggage hauls, we made it to the dormitory where we will spend the next day before we get our host families, which is much nicer than I anticipated. After an hour of waiting in line to ride the elevator with only ourselves and our luggage-because the elevator was too small to hold any more- we made our way to the little rooms with the tall ceilings. After a brief hour of shower and rest, we made our way to the streets of Peterburg to explore and exhaust ourselves in the new city we shall call home.
