Hey there, It has been so nice to havev stayed here, in Belek, Turkey, Bellis hotel. All was first class. We had Pop stars, footballers and other outstanding people here. Hope to come here again. Love and hugs to all...

Hey there, I'm here in Bellis near Belek, Turkey. We arrived yesterday and today we're happy to see many famous Russian pop start and footballers here. They do shows and give concerts. The sea is very warm (26C) and clear. Only Russians are here. There is a small zoo here. It's nice:) Hope to have fun here. Love and hugs to all.

Hey there. I'm lucky to enjoy Indian autumn in St Pets. It was nice, warm and sunny here for the whole day of Sept. 20. Thanks God it was so! Suren, my classmate joined me after lunch. Great! Love and hugs to all:))

Hey there. We're very busy now as we have our dear girls - Olia and Yana visiting us in Moscow. It's early September but the weather is gloomy and rainy. It's a pity as going out in such weather is not comfortable. We spent one weekend at dacha with Klimka, Stasik, Katya, her parents and Marina. We had barbecue outside and it was really nice. On Monday they are leaving for LA then to SF. We'll be missing them:((. Yanochka is such a positive child! Hugs and love to you...

Hey there. Our stay here, in SF, is coming to an end. It was a really nice stay with my nearest and dearest for as long as about 40 days. Thank you Andy and Olia for your warm welcome. Andy did his marathon on August 17. It was swimming 2 miles from Alcatraz to Golden Gate and running some more miles to the finish line. He did it well and we met him at the Marina area. We're leaving on Thursday. So wish us a good flight. Love and hugs:)

Dear all, Olia's birthday is over. We spent a lovely evening at SF Steakhouse on this day and it was warm and nice. Today Olia and Andy went early in the morning for a baloon trip around Napa Valley, which was Andy's surprise for Olia and she really liked it.  I immediately remembered our early morning flight with dear Dima to Grand Canyon in Las Vegas in 2000 and became nostalgic. Thank you Dimka for this experience. How are you. Let me know about your plans or call Slava on his phone. Hope to hear from you:) Love and hugs to all my nearest.

Please have a look at Olia reporting about their trouble with car break ins near Skool restaurant. Car burglaries are exploding in the city of San Francisco. The latest numbers show break-ins are up an astounding 47 percent over last year. Several factors are being cited, including prison realignment and California voters. Mark Matthews reports.

Hey there, It's three days since Slava had his surgery. It's fine but he feels weak and has SE headaches. Hope they'll go away soon. The weather is good - not very hot with sunny spells. We walk around and enjoy the weather here. Hugs and love to all my nearest...;)

Hey there, Here I am in SF CA with Yana, Slava and Goapo, the doggy. Olia&Andy are away on o camping holiday till mondey, so we're on our own. Today we've been to SF Zoo. It's amazing, well groomed and very educational for children and grown ups. We enjoyed a Family Farm with many domestic animals in one place. You can touch them and groom them, too. But no feeding. We liked it! Love and hugs to all:))

Hey there, here I am, in Yaroslavl. This time the things I had to get done in Yaroslavl, I did quickly and with no problems. I was driving my car with a JPS navigator, so I managed to go to Tolgsky monastery and around the city. It did not disappoint me. Good and gorgeous city. Love and hugs from me and Yaroslavl:))

Today is Slavocka's Birthday. Our trip to Sochi he had cancelled for some reasons so we'll stay at dacha on the Day. Hope Stasik'll come and we'll be together. Marina is in Anapa, Olya in Washington, Dimka is probably in USA. So we'll be on the same wave and give Slavochka our love and kisses. He deserved it:)) Love and hugs to all my nearest and dearest!! Last outing was on Thursday in Valhtangovsky theatre. It was an updated  performance of Otello with many young and talented young boys and girls. Thank you:))

Hey, here I am in Kazan in the late June. I stayed at Ramadan Hotel, just in the centre, near the Kremlin and the railway station. The city is very beautiful and well groomed there are some hills and nice channels near the hotel. I was impressed by their Kremlin and the biggest Kol Sheriff  mask in it. The weather wS good and I enjoyed my one night stay. Hugs and love to all my nearest:))
