Greetings from Yakutsk!  We arrived on time here in Yakutsk after a long flight by any measure.  We got off the aircraft and were taken by bus to the area for departures.  There we were met in grand fashion by a local contingent complete with traditional local dress.  We were given a drink from a large bowl of fermented horse milk which is a traditional greeting in their culture!  The boys were given a English/Russian/Yakut dictionary and were serenaded by a woman in traditional garb.  Very cool! We went to our dorm where we made our living arrangements and then had lunch.  After lunch, we had our first dual meet with a local club.  The boys made a good showing although we seemed a bit sluggish.  We lost the dual 6 matches to 7 but competed very well.  Tomorrow we are leaving Yakutsk to tour and wrestle in the outlying villages.  This will prove to be a very interesting experience to say the least.  We will be doing some camping.  Needless to say we won't have much opportunity to communicate with the outside world, so don't worry. As soon as I get an opportunity I will post some pictures.  Lack of WIFI is limiting what we can do.
