Our first trip to Russia - 2/18/2004 to 2/23/2004

On February 12th, we found out that we would be going to Russia to visit Valeria. We travelled to Russia from February 18th until February 23rd. Here is the story of that trip, told through e-mails that Julie sent back to our families, and through later recollections of Jon and Julie after returning home.
