We made it to Volgograd! ...finally after a two and a half hour flight from Atlanta to NY - ...wait several hours in JFK airport to catch the next leg - nine hour Aeroflot flight to Moscow ....catch the two and a half hour "jumper" flight to Volgograd... 35 minute drive to our hotel in Volgograd...dinner at the hotel and bed at around midnight (Russian time). Back to breakfast this morning at 8:00am...then practice sessions all morning and afternoon for the concert in the park this evening. The people are very friendly and have made us feel very welcome. The concert was a "great success" in the words of our interpreters. :) The people were dancing in the streets to the music. We are tired, but having a wonderful time!

The sweet stewardess on our flight to Moscow - they just kept feeding us! This was the longest leg of the flight - 9 hours on small seats!
