Class 41’s International journey got off the ground on Saturday 2/18 at 4:20pm as scheduled. Everyone made it on the flight safe and sound other than four of our fellows we met up with in Paris. After 10 hours in the air we arrived in Paris and met up with our remaining four comrades. After three more hours the group safely arrived in Moscow. Everything worked out well other than for our fellow Liz whose bags never made it out of LAX. We then all boarded the bus that took us to our hotel, which was built for the 1980 Olympics and it is very nice.

Today’s journey taught us another good lesson on team work, communication, and flexibility. We are looking forward to a good night’s sleep so that we can fully take in this wonderful experience. And we are all happy we packed our warm cloths because as you can see from the picture we are going to be facing some tough elements.
