Xmas and more in SF
Hey there, Here we are in SF CA. Everything is fine and we've spent Xmas with Andy's family and had a good time altogether. John called me with Xmas greetings and it was really nice to here it. They are in San Diego now. I'll call him back with NY greetings. We took a drive to the Mount Daieblo National Park near Wallnut Creek, where Olia lived when she moved to CA US. We picked up huge pinecones there and want to take them back to Moscow. New Year is coming so we're looking forward to it and the flight to Mexico.
Heavy Snow in Moscow Before Flight to LA
Hey there. Tomorrow we're flying to LA and then to SF. Long,long journey but it's OK as it's a long awaited one. After all the fuss and busy days at work by the end of the year 2011, it'll be a very nice change. Posting a photo of myself next to Gogol'at the theatre where we were three days ago. It's a really good one and the actors are young and smart. I'll keep you informed about how things are in US (SF). I hope to send a parcel to Nun Anna with Chrismas gifts and do some good shopping in SF before their Christmas (25 December). Today it's actually the first day of very heavy snowfall and Moscow is covered in white blanket everywhere. It's nice and beautiful but fog is very thick and this concerns me. Love and hugs to all of you...
Shortly after State Duma Elections
Hi there, Sitting at dacha, watching TV and reflecting on what is going on around. After elections (Dec 4) we've had few meetings and some unrest in society and on the Russian Internet. Many people are not happy with the results as many of them voted for Kommunist Party. Marina was in charge of elections at her school and she noticed this tendency. But still, we have what we have...I personally voted for 'Yabloko' (Yavlinsky), but he is not among the four major leaders. Well, we've had Stepka and Marina with Kostya visiting us today. Stepka started saying 'Yes, no' or some other simple words. I hope he'll start speaking soon, He's very cute. We're flying to LA on Dec 23. Miss all of you and want to see you... Dima, can you be in California after Dec 24??? Would be really great!!! Love and hugs.
