Greetings from Frankfurt, Germany!  Our flight here was on a brand new Airbus A340-600.  A very fancy airplane.  Too bad we didn't get to sit in first class.  We had dinner of chicken and veggies and went right to sleep.  When we woke up, we were already flying over Ireland.  Our flight to St. Petersburg has been delayed for one hour, so I am able to write this post while we wait.  We ate a little lunch of a salad and sandwich.  Everyone was happy to have more coffee to try to wake up.  After only about 4 hours of sleep, we all feel groggy and tired, but very excited to be on our way to Russia.
