Back from St. Pets. - March 18

Image
Hey there. Here I am at dacha after coming back from St. Pets. where I was on my usual CE trip. I went there by 'Red Arrow' fast train in a sleeping car. It was fine and comfortable. I became free at 15:30 and walked back along the Nevsky Alley to Moskovsky railway on foot. The weather was good and guite warm for this city - +5C. Back I got very quickly, for 3.50 hours only by the express train 'Sapsan'. It was nice as at 9pm I was at home. Love and hugs to all my dearest:)

Hey there, here we're at Sac, CA. We arrived safely on Feb 23 and will be staying here till March 9. The weather is sunny but pretty cold. After flooding in CA trees near the American river are flooded and only tops are stretchig out of water. Olia is due to have a baby in May so she's trying to cope with all the problems of her pregnancy. She's fine. Yana is the cutest child! She'll be a good big sister for a baby. We've been to a fashion show in Sac. It was fun! Love and hugs to all my dearest!
