Went to Russia and came back well and remotely healthy, caught an annoying cold somewhere on the way. But St. Petersburg was BEAUTIFUL and wow, Russian is weird but I can now read the Cyrillic alphabet at least
somewhat which is fun. Did a lot of singing, obviously since it was a choir trip, and the Russian audience is THE. BEST. Hands down, seriously, we got a standing ovation in 2/3 of our concerts and people
randomly shouted 'bravo!' after a song ended. I just, I was on top of the world after the concerts, the audience was just so great and sweet and oh, all the sweet Russian grandmas, SO ADORABLE.
