This blog will follow the adventures of Daniel Luka and Sasha Channer Rovinsky (and their parents) as they embark on four months of living in St. Petersburg Russia! Daniel is all set to attend a Montessori School and Sasha will attend the Anglo-American School of St. Petersburg for March - June. They are both hoping for a lot of snow ("hopefully PACKING snow!" - Sasha) and hanging out with their family there. This will be Sasha's fourth trip to Russia and Daniel's first.
So far, there is little we know for certain about the four months. It's an open ended adventure is many ways and we are getting excited about starting it!
