Claire and Boris Play Cat-and-Mouse
A quick, cryptic update from the Baltics:
1) The Baltic Sea at midnight in mid-summer is the most beautiful thing I have seen.
2) The Crystal Serenity is indeed a crystal of serenity. It is every image those words call to mind.
3) The only thing the Crystal of Serenity lacks is reliable, high-speed Internet access. That, actually, is a one key reason why it's serene and crystalline. I can't really pull off pretending to mourn it; I'm too happy about it. I do feel guilty about letting you down, though. There are many interesting things to report from this part of the world--obviously.
4) We've docked in St. Petersburg, but it seems I cannot just spirit myself off to an Internet cafe every now and again to dash off a few posts for Ricochet. Why not? Because Americans may not leave the ship unless escorted by a "licensed guide" who will take us on an "official tour." In other words, the Cold War is not as over as one might wish.
4) If you're reading this, it means there's a reason we won the Cold War, Boris.
