Getting Closer To Home

We arrived in Moscow last night after an extremely tearful goodbye to our translators, Marianna and her mom. Marianna was so much help and told me that it is okay to be sad now because it will be short-lived. She was right! Tyler was such an angel on the plane ride. He only cried for a couple of minutes as we were making our descent. I'm not sure if his ears were bothering him or he was just tired because he ended up falling asleep in my arms as the plane was landing. He managed to wake up for the drive from the airport to the hotel but then quickly fell asleep for the night. This morning, we walked around Red Square and the Kremlin. Now he is having a nap while I get a chance to update the blog. We leave for the airport at 7:30 a.m. Moscow time (Saturday morning) and will arrive in Toronto at 1:30 p.m. (Saturday afternoon). We hope he is as good as he was last night on this final ten hour journey. We can't wait to get him home.
