Rossiya, take 2!

Well, they let me back into the country again! So, I'm in Moscow, where I toured the Red Square, Kremlin, a museum and some churches. I just met all the other team members for the research trip, and early tomorrow we fly to the Arctic, to Naryan Mar, in Nenets Autonomous Okrug. I dunno how much internet connection I will have for the next time, which means I'm doing exactly what I want to be doing for this year! After the research trip I hope to extend my permission so I can stay in what you could call a teepee (there are other names for them here, in Norway, and in Tuva), with some reindeer herders till I return to Norway in April to help out on a fishing boat and migrate with a reindeer herd from Kautokeino down to the sea. In Nenets it could very easily be minus 50 or 60 (F or C). So, I'm a bit worried, but I think it will work out!
