San Diego

Hey there,
Our visit to San Diego is already over and I must admit it was amazing!!!
We arrived there by UA on Saturday morning and flew back to SF on Tuesday morning. Everything we saw there was really very interesting and unusual. On arrival we hired a car (Cruiser) and Olia was a driver. We didn't have GPS so it was a bit confusing to drive around but then Olia got used and she could drive around easily. The city is pretty big and it spreads out for long distances. To put the long story about our stay there short, I'll try to mention the most impressive places we visited: SD Zoo (world famous!), Coronado Island and the beach, Mission Beach, Little Italy (with lots of Italian places for eating),Las Americas shopping area (just next to the boarder with Mexico) and Seafront Village, just in the downtown SD.
As for the Zoo, it may take several days to learn about it better, but we had only one day within which we managed to see some major things - Pandas in the Zoo are few and we even had to queue to see them as they are the star attractions of the place. At Las Americas we came across Boarder Patrol Police who track all suspecious people on the US - Mexican boarder. So every single moment in San Diego was exciting and enjoyable. The beaches were amazingly clean and tidy with white sand and
lots of sunshine, though the temperature was not so high (18C - Coronado and 24C - Mission).
Well, all of us loved San Diego very much and we wish we could come there again...
Hope you'll manage to feel the touch of the city from my photos...

My trip to Saratov came to an end on December 8th. It was fine and I had really many regrets that they had a lot of snow there, in Saratov, whereas in Moscow it's grey and sleazy. ESOL people there are really efficient and everything was well organized. My FCE examining on December 8th in Moscow was nothing special, without any unexpected things. Thanks God for that! The best news is that today I've met my new FCE group in school 1359, Zhulebino. They are all pretty young, from 8th form, and seemed to be very cute. We decided to split the group into two ones in March, after our CAE boys and girls have done the examination. I'll tell you more about the new group as soon as I know about them more. That's all for now.

Late July - August 2023 - December 2023

Hi there. It’s a shame, but I haven’t posted for so long! Here I’ll try to catch it up chronologically as this period has been full of many sad and unpredictable events:    Late July - 2023: Flight to Bosporus, area Taxim. Spent there a great time with Olia, Slav and kids. 11August - 16 August: Flight to Jordanville convent to say ‘Good Bye’ to my dearest aunt - Mother Anna. She was about to pass away. This took place on August 17, just after my leaving. Thanks God I managed to see her for 2 days and talked to her, even though it was really difficult for her.. Before that (in April 2023) Olia, David and kids visited Mother Anna. She looked much better at that time - see their photo. Next to this pic, there is my photo with her, which was taken in 1956. . Early October 2023: our flight to Belek Turkey with our friends - Lara and Sasha: it was a nice chance to distract from grievances we experienced in August. At the same time Slav started investing money into building a new chu...

Family reunion - Dad's jubilee!!!

Dear all. It was a really busy time in my life as within one week I had so many events one by one. First, I had my aunt Irina and my daughter Olga together in my small flat visiting on the occasion of our Dad's 55th anniversary. The occasion itself took place on July 3d in a small cafe called "Gusar" not far from "Kakhovskaya" metro station. The cafe belongs to Stanislav's friend from Dagestan, Aldemir, and, as you can imagine, everything was perfectly organized with exclusive manu (Georgean and European food) as well as professional girls-dancers. They performed every 5-10 minutes and were so gorgeous and amazing that even the oldest among our guests (people over 70) could not help dancing and enjoying themselves as kids. I was really happy as I could see my family reunion: daughters - Marina and Olga, grandson - Stas, he's 16, and my dearest and nearest husband Stanislav altogether. He was, definitely, the highlight of the day, but the girls- dancers o...
