We arrived in Frankfurt at about 9:30 AM (11:30 PM Salt Lake City time). Brooke said she slept a few hours. Jennifer, Wendy and I were didn’t get much sleep and we were pretty wiped out. Wendy and Jennifer both took photos of me sleeping on a double seat in the airport in Frankfurt. Oh joy. (You will have to ask Jennifer for that photo.) I didn’t think I had really slept. We had almost five hours before our flight to St Petersburg.
Our Lufthansa flight to St Petersburg was on an almost new Airbus A320-200. It was half full, and without incidence. We cleared Passport control and collected our baggage. All but one of our bags were present and undamaged. My personal bag had one outer pocket ripped open. I lost most of my gifts for my kids. :(
Bill Moberly met us at the airport and we had an interesting ride in a minivan to Koltushi. Our driver followed Russian rules for driving. It seems the basic rule is to keep two wheels on the pavement. We stopped at a small market, bought water, cheese and crackers, and arrived at the seminary about 9:15 PM. We had a brief meeting to thank God for our safe travels, and headed for bed about 10 PM.
