So we are due to fly home in slightly over 36 hours and we were informed today, over a week after we surrendered our passports to get our exit and re-entry visa (its a fun process!), that they needed black and white (?) , matte passport pictures yesterday in order to process our visa's in time for our flights. So we are passport-less and visa-less but not worried....yet! I'm sure we could find a turkey in Russia....
