Late September Sunny Days..

Image
Hey, Here I am in Udelnata, at dacha.The days stay sunny and bright, though evenings and nights are cool. Next Saturday we're flying to Antalya, Turkey for a week as Stas needs some rest.Today we've had Marina. Kostya and Stephan visiting us. They are OK. Stephan is a bit shy but he has grown up since I last saw him.  The bad news is that Kliment has problems with one of his eyes, it is +7, while the other eye is normal. We all worry about it and hope for the God's help, let's prey for him ...Doma, you're a doctor, advise us what to do... Love and hugs to all...

Astrakhan September 19

Image
Hey there, Here I am in Astrakhan on CIU assignment. I'll be doing my job tomorrow so today I've been around the city centre. This is the Astrakhan Kremlin with the Great Uspensky Cathedral full of icons and local Saints holy remains. I spent some time there and got really impressed. Tomorrow I'll go on sightseeing in the evening as I'm flying back on Sanday. Love and hugs to all my nearest:)

Early September in Moscow

Image
Hey there, Here I am, at dacha on Sept 6 2014. The weather is warm and sunny so I'm enjoying it knowing that this situation may change any time. Today is our dear Andy's Birthday and I want to wish him many happy moments in life. He and Olia are a very good couple, though Olia is not an easy person to meet all her expectations in life and ambitions. Be Happy with little Yanochka and have one more baby! Meanwhile, have a look at our suddenly blooming bush of Gibiscus that Marina planted one year ago and a funny dog I met next to us! Hugs to all of you

Image
Hey there, my BC project book EFA "English for Academics" Book1 is ready!  I'm really happy as it took me two stressful and nervous years (2012-2015) to take part in this project. Today, at BC Moscow (28.08.14), there was a presentation of the book. I arrived 1,5 hours before and, to my great surprise, I could see the whole team (7peole) sitting together in a lobby room duscussing sth. I was amazed and greeted all of them - Rod, Sveta, Luidmila, Vasya and othhers, I even managed to listen to the presentation of the book. Anyway, great job! I'm the author and it's the Cambridge University Press (CUP) publishing house. I'm happy and proud, Hooray!

Playa del Carmel and Tulum in Mexico

Image
Hey there, here we are in Eastern Mexico, Caribian sea. The place is called Playa del Carmel and it is a small resert on the Caribian Sea. The flight took us 5,5 hours from SF so it's quite far from California. The sea is amazingly beautiful and the sand is white and very fine. We've been to Tulum, which is the old Maya settlement. You can see only ruins there now, but they are well preserved by Mexican  are nice but rather short and staut...It is very hot here and Slava has problems in such weather. We live in a condo with our own barbecue and jacuzzi on the roof. Hugs and love to all my dearest:)

Weekend on Russian River and Andy's Triatlon

Image
Hey there, this weekend was very special. First, Andy took part in Triatlon race and a bg marathon was held in SF along the Golden Gate Bridge. Second, we went to the Russian River where Olia's friend Jennifer has got a cabin - a small wooden house on the River in the Red Wood forest. We call such cabins 'dacha'. Goapa, the doggy, started swimming there for the first time! It was funny. Have a look at some pics and video. Love and hugs! http://youtu.be/y93Qt9wZsTg
