Schooling Putin Sample

To make the deadlines I have I'm going to upload excerpts from my book. Any and all feedback is welcome! Welcome to Russia St. Petersburg, Peter the Great’s masterpiece. Founded in 1703, as Russia’s gateway to Europe and now she’s more Russian than her cosmopolitan counterpart Moscow. My flight landed in Moscow at 2 PM the next day. After I disembarked from the plane into Domodedovo airport I found a payphone and made a collect call home. “I'm in Moscow." "James? It's five o'clock in the morning. Are you ok, son?

Counting in rhythm is one approach. Quantifying one of the most beautiful forms of Mother Nature. Each drop falls a long way to a temporary destination. A splash. The long drop from the sky is less than half of the journey. Rain then seeps into soil, flows into streams, rivers, subterranean reservoirs, gutters, and city storm drains. Each drop counted ultimately adds up to an ultimate sum. Count splashes. If lulled to sleep count sounds. How many raindrops descend from the heavens to the ground?
