We took this picture early this morning as we boarded our flight back to Moscow. Hopefully you can see the plane in the background and the snow covered ground. There was even snow on our plane as we took off. I guess de-icing is pointless here so they've learned how to fly regardless of the weather conditions. It was quite interesting to land on and take off of snow. We kept thinking, "Surely they know what they are doing since they do this all of the time, right?"By the way, here's an international traveler tip #1: When you are traveling in a land of another language, take notice of the faces around you when you check in for your flight. It was very helpful to know when to get on our planes since we typically couldn't understand what in the world they were saying when they were calling out flights. It became even more helpful when we got back into Moscow and we were trying to find our luggage. They couldn't seem to make up their mind as to which spot to put the luggage for our flight so we just kept following this one lady around until we saw her finally get her luggage. We knew ours would be close--and it was!
