I am so gald you enjoyed Siberia! We have been there 4 times! We have adopted 3 children from Siberia. On the first visit I spoke no Russian and found the people there to be so helpful and charming. Then I studied Russian for 2 years and went back and adopted a 12 year old! That trip was amazing to be able to really interact with such strong and wonderful people! I hope to cruise there one day. I am jelouse of you even though we leave on a Seabourn Athens to Istanbul in one month! Russia is beauitful!!
