Blogging for Pete

While we've been living abroad, Pete has flown all over Europe for work. I'm always trying to get him to take the camera and blog about his travels. Unfortunately, he doesn't look at his trips in the same light. To be fair, he is usually working long days and it is unusual for him to be able to get out and see any part of the city he's in. Nevertheless, recently he had a trip that I could not ignore. I've decided to post about it even though it was a couple of months ago because honestly the pictures are cool and I wish I could have gone too.

In January, he ended up in Moscow for work. This was not just another work trip because his sister Heather and her family live there. Unfortunately, he was only there for a few days and didn't have too much time to visit with them. They were nice enough to meet him at his hotel (not close for them) and take him to Red Square and out to dinner so he could experience a little of the city. It was FREEZING cold and DARK and after hearing Pete's stories of his trip (for example: it took him about 2 hours to go 20 miles for a meeting), huge kudos to my sister-in-law for living there the past 3 years. She's a lot tougher than I am.
