Dear Dad,
Hey Daddy! I am in Russia today... and whoa... it is just wow right now. There is a lot of fighting going on. Many still suffering from the impact of world war I. Now on top of it all the March Revolution (February Revolution) has begun. I was afraid for my own life being here.... it is a beautiful place and yet so much violence is present.

Then there was the Bolsheviks, along with Lenin and Stalin. They took place in the November Revolution. They were ruthless fighters. For Moscow, it took a week of fighting to hurt the local government. Moscow... it was turned into the Bolsheviks' capital...They even ended ownership of private land and distributed it to peasants. Dad, this place is extremely UN safe and I really do NOT want to be here today. It is dangerous, and not a happy place. People are in constant fear or a constant fight. I hope to come home soon, and that everything in Russia gets better soon.

Scary! It sounds like the worst vacation EVER. I like your pictures...it really gives me an idea of the chaos and uncertainty of the time.
