Waiting in St. Petersburg airport

We take off in three and a half hours. The Internet here seems to be working, and some blog posts I tried to do a few days ago have magically appeared. Next stop: Frankfurt!
The last month has been an unforgettable experience for me. I made some new friends,  and learned so much about language and culture. I have much more empathy for my students, who often are overwhelmed, confused, and exhausted by immersion in English.  I can truly empathize with their feelings now.  The puzzles of Russian grammar are logical compared to English grammar.  My conversation skills have improved more than anything, and although I have a lot to learn, I feel that this trip was a well-rounded learning experience.  Thanks to everyone who made it possible.
