Today we've been to Tolgsky convent and to see Valta Braslavskaya, Mother Anna's friend. It was nice and memorable both for me and Marina. Valya is a warm person who loves and remembers mother Anna.

Hey everybody! I've spent 2 days at Vladivostok. The 1st day was very bright and sunny. The view from my hotel window on the 9th floor of Equator hotel, just on the seashore. The 2d day was cloudy, but I spent it with Igor Chernozatonski, my FB friend. We visited an Arseniev museum and I learned about Nevelsky, the father of the Far East. Hope to come here again.
