Thanks, everyone!

I'm back in Russia, now. I had a great time visiting friends and family America. I kept busy: 2 weeks in Washington, 1 week driving through California, and 3 days in New Hampshire. Celebrating Easter at home was wonderful (Yay, Jesus!) and I got to see Marcia every day for 3 weeks. It was good to drop in on Mom and Dad, too. A big thanks to everyone who let me stay at their place, loaned me a vehicle, gave me a ride somewhere, bought me drinks, or took me out for breakfast/lunch/dinner. God has put some incredibly kind and generous people in my life, for which I am very grateful.

American Buses

American buses are nice. They're big and spacious, well kept, fast, you can stand up inside, and they have big seats for big American bottoms. The routes are well marked and route information is easily found online. The drivers are polite, answer questions, and don't try to run you over when you cross the street. Riding the bus in Seattle has been fun.
