July 4, 2012 Hey! Happy July 4th in America! Usually right now, I'd be preparing to set off fireworks tonight, but instead, I'm touring the Alexander Nevsky cathedral with Darby. The cathedral was built in 1900 to show the Russain empire's dominance over the Baltic territtory.

After the festival, I'm going to Bratislava, Slovakia to meet Darby, where we will take a flight to Tallinn, Estonia. From there, we'll have so much fun together.
