Day 1 in Irkutsk

Flocks of swifts greeted us at the airport near Irktusk this morning as the sun rose and fog blanketed the runway. Our local tour guides/interpreters, Viktor and Nikolai, met us at the airport and kindly helped us with our bags (Viktor was prepared; he already had his Wellesley sweatshirt on!) We had a delicious and varied breakfast at the hotel. Throughout the day, people have explored the esplanade by the Angara River, primed their water filters, and caught some much needed sleep!
