We made it. The best way to describe the travel out here this time is uneventful. Normally there is some sort of hiccup or long layover or something; not this time. It was smooth the whole way. We arrived in LJ about noon yesterday and basically hung out with friends all day. It was a good chance to catch up on things and hear about what has happened since I left. Really the only news is that there are a few new roads, some more foreigners moved out here, and some restaurants opened or closed. Really that is about it.
The biggest thing that I've noticed about being back is how normal everything feels. It really doesn't seem like much time has passed at all since I've left, even though it has been over a year and a half. There haven't been any of the weird culture moments or even anything seeming out of place, well except for having Lindsey with me (that minor detail). Really though, that doesn't seem strange either. It just all seems to fit just like it used to but even more so now. And she seems to be really enjoying it so far (or else she is a much better faker than I give her credit for).
It is early in the morning so we are about to go and see Old Town before it gets crowded. It'll be a nice touristy thing to do.
