Siedlers Update

OK ... so ... I guess we all learned a lot of lessons last night after playing Siedlers
1. Never boast on your blog that you are going to win a game before you actually play the game
2. Colombians are not only beautiful ... they can also play a mean game of Sielders
3. Russians are significantly friendlier than Hollywood may depict.

After the two superpowers (Anna and Chris) suffered a defeat at the hands the lil Latina (Ingrid), we decided to respect each other’s differences and finalize our trip to Moscow !!! That’s right, Anna was gracious enough to welcome us to her home. We found some pretty good tickets from Berlin to Moscow and back. We’re even done with the most difficult part … getting an invitation and visa. Anna couldn’t invite us because she wasn’t currently in Russia (plus the process takes even longer). Ingrid had to pay twice as much for her visa 'just because' she is Colombian and I had to fill out four times the paper work 'just because’ I’m from the US. If these is any foreshadow to the misadventures awaiting us, this trip is going to be GREAT.
