Ст. Parks called this morning wanting to know if Ст. Aldredge [the Ст. that went down to Voronezh when I first got in Moscow] had left a black "Grammar and Illustrations" book. I said that I'd look for one and if I found one I'd send it down. I don't think there is one around, but I'll look. I got up at 9:30am. That's when he called so I had to. He's in Nizhny [Novgorod] and he had me call him back because his phone really sucks there for some reason.
[Post journal chat - It was pretty weird to hear from Ст. Parks again. It was out of nowhere. I never did find that book in that apartment, but later in my mission I did get my hands on one, and I kept it.
Nizhny Novgorod (Нижный Новгород) means "Lower New City." One of the first big cities of the Rus was called Novgorod or new city, and this one is lower/further south than the original. At least it's not called New New City. Who knows where it would stop then?]
