New Friends in St. Petersburg

Thanks to our good friends from Newberg, OR, Gary & Susan Fawver, who have made many trips to Russia on behalf of Christian Camping International, we were able to connect with their sometimes-guide and translator, Nikolai who was a huge help to us in getting around St. Petersburg, translating signs and interceding for us at ticket windows. His wife, Irina, met us at the Finland Train Station and helped us find our B&B when we first arrived, and then accompanied us to the Mariinski Concert Hall to see a performance of the opera, Aida. We appreciated getting acquainted with both of them and were most grateful for their help in so many ways. - rw
