Beautiful Sunday

We decided to be adventurous, and see if we could navigate the metro and find the church we attended last week.  I thought I knew the way, but listening to Russian announcements on a full, noisy train car makes it a little more interesting.  We went to the main metro station near us, bought our tokens, and headed for the escalator.  This is a very deep station.  It's hard to estimate, but you could barely see the bottom from the top, so I'm guessing it is 150-200' deep.  We boarded the correct train, headed in the correct direction, and made it to church right on time.  I was really going for Julia's benefit, expecting a total Russian service, but there was a Scottish preacher there, who was in town for a mini-conference, so he spoke.  That meant english and russian. Good singing, good challenging message, and then we headed home.  The main boulevard on which the metro is located, was blocked off so people were wandering all over the place.  And it was gorgeous today.  Mid 60's and sunny.  Julia wasn't feeling well so we went straight home.  It turns out she had a seizure this afternoon and needed to sleep.  That makes 2 in 3 days.  Perhaps Friday wore on her more than we noticed.  Libby and I went out alone to find some supper for us, and still very pleasant tonight.  We looked online and apparently there is a 3-day Jazz festival in town, so we are guessing that is what the relaxed atmosphere is about.  I found a TV station that is replaying college football, but they are showing S Car vs Missouri.  Good game, except I don't care about it.  We are hoping to go to the embassy and/or medical exam tomorrow.  The embassy web page just said to send them an email to schedule an appointment.  Can it really be that easy with a government agency?  The email went to the same people I have been communicating with all along, so maybe it will be.

The street in this photo is the one blocked off today, except further down.
