Happy International Women's Day!
It is celebrated differently in other countries, but in Russia, it is an official public holiday and for most, a three day weekend (Friday is exchanged for Sunday as a work day). Chris has to work on Sunday, but gets Thurs-Sat off!! It'll be nice to have him home for 3 days!!
Flowers and gifts are exchanged much like our Valentine's or Mother's Day. It's a pretty big deal here!

The Russians believe that an odd number of flowers brings good luck!
