Blogger doesn't want me to upload photos today. We are heading out to Velikiye Luki in a couple of hours. We probably won't have internet access until we are back in Pskov... There is an internet cafe in town but last time we were there it took minutes to load one email!

We are going without our coordinator, but hoping to meet up with Lera so she can help with taxis and translation while we are there. We also have the phone number of our local "official" translator. The plan is to see Rita Saturday and Sunday, leave with her from the orphanage on Monday, and meet up with everyone again on Tuesday in Pskov - so we can get her new birth certificate and Russian passport.
