Going first

Greetings from Karl Marx Street!
 
 We’ve arrived safely in Minsk, and our 13-year-old Lydia is already out ahead of me on photo reports.
 
 She’s started a blog for her friends. You can check it out here if you wish.
 
 My (grown-up) photo reports will begin coming your way soon.
 
 Thanks for journeying with us!
 
 Much love,
 
 Doug Brendel
