Hello all! I'm just bginning to set up this blog. Some of you might remember that I kept a blog the last time I went to Russia. I am looking forward to trying the same thing this time. This trip to Russia may be very different. I am going to be leaving in three weeks to journey to Vladimir, a city of several hundred thousand near Moscow. There, I will be teaching English to Russians as part of the staff of Serendipity, a private foundation that runs an English school and cultural exchange. Their website is http://www.serendipity-russia.com

Please check back in as often as you like. I hope to update how my job is going, any travels I have, observations and comments about Russia and anything else that comes to mind.
