White Sea

Today we took a little road trip up to the White Sea. And it was . . . white. As far as you can see a giant blanket of snow and ice (with ocean underneath we are told). Beautiful.

On Sunday we spent most of the day sledding on a hill near the center of town (down by the river) - right by the statue of Peter the Great (which is on the 500 ruble note . . . who knew?)

Tomorrow is the big day - we get the kids around 2:30 Ark time.
