Dear all, I've just returned from a two-day tri to Sacramento and the town of Folsom nearby. Both of th are very green and beautiful. We lived in the Citizen hotel in Sacramento and even managed to visit a Russian Church there ony Angel's Day (January 25th). Here are some pics on this and our prior visit to SF Zoo. Hugs and love from me...

Strolls Around SF with Yana, Olia and Dad

Image
Hey there,  Now that Yana is getting much better, we've done a stroll in the park in the city centre and around Olia's neighborhood. The day was sunny and I have made  some pics,  have a look...Love and hugs!!

We're in SF CA

Image
Hey there, we've been staying in SF almost for a week. All is fine but the only problem is Yana's acute bronchitis. She keeps coughing and crying most all nights. Nobody can sleep and this weakens all of us. She had immunization a couple of days ago and this probably added to her mild cold. We stay at home because of this. Yet, I managed to make some shots of Goat Grazing in Olia's neighborhood. They use grazing to prevent city fires. Love and hugs to all:))

Leaving Hanoi Tomorrow:(

Image
Hey there, It was a nice stay in Hoi An for 8 days, out of which only 2 days were really sunny and warm for swimming in the sea. Today we've left Hoi An with the same sunny weather and now we're staying in our favourite Sofitel Plaza in a foggy Hanoi observing it from the 13th floor. We've had a good and relaxing time in Hoi An, though it was not always warm and sunny. On the last day we had Anne, Slava's ex-postgraduate student and we together made a trip around old Hoi An city. It was very interesting. Made some pics. Love and hugs to all my nearest and dearest.

New Year 2015 in Hoi An Sunrise Beach Resort

Image
Hey there, I wish all my nearest and dearest a Happy New year 2015. Let it be peaceful and bright with smiles and good mood all year round! We're staying at Sunrise Beach Resort in Hoi An. The place and the city are very friendly and familiar to us as we've been here several times. We made friends with nice Ukrainian people (Maks, Inna and Sasha) living in London. Love and hugs to all of you. Be happy!

Hanoi, Christmas Eve 2014/15

Image
Here we are in Hanoi, Vietnam. We stay at the Sofitel Hotel, just  on the bank of two lakes. The view from the room on the 11th floor is splendid! In two days we're flying to Danang, on the sea. Hope to have good weather there. Here, in Hanoi, it's 17-19 and quite foggy. Yesterday there was a Chrismas performance in Sofitel. We made some pics, have a look. Love and hugs to all:))

Volgograd in Late December

Image
Hey there, Here I am, in Hilton Volgograd. I'm here on CIU assignment , which is tomorrow. Today I've arrived in the hotel after stop in Astrakhan, which was made due to very foggy weather in Volgograd. So I was flying for 4 hours instead of 1.45. That's why I managed to visit only Mamaev Kurgar, where I went by express train. The Mother of Mamaev Kurgan is really stunning! There is a complex and a church around the Mother. The park is beautiful and some war songs can be heard there. Have a look! It's really moving. Love and hugs to all:))
