Great Day - Grandson Kai Vitaliy Is Born

Image
Hey there, On May 22 Olia gave birth to the boy - 3.8kg and 54cm. His name is going to be Kai Vitaliy according to Andy&Olua' wish. He is very cute and very man like child. Olia is already at home. Hugs to all my dearest... On this day I dropped in Donskoi monastery exactly at a time of his arrival. God Bless him!!!

Kostroma Mid May 2017

Image
Hi there. Today I've returned from Kostroma, my favourite city not far from Moscow. It was nice weather there, but we missed the return train from Yaroslavl and had to take a taxi. So it was rather stressful SE session. But I hope it was good experience too. Love and hugs to my dearest.

Turkey, Akka near Kemer, early May

Image
Hey there, here we are in Akka hotel. It is near Kemer, 50 min drive from Antalya. The place is gorgeous - surrounded by mountains and forests. The sea is blue and splendid too. The water is rather cool - 18-19C, but I swim at least 3 times every day. There are not so many other swimmers though. We enjoy the surroundings as well as fresh air and food here, but stay only at the hotel. Terrorism is still likely in Turkey. Love and hugs to all my nearest and dearest.

Vladivostok April 22

Image
Hey there, here I am at Zhemchuzhina hotel, Vladivostok. I arrived on April 21 and leaving tomorrov, onnApril 23. It was really sunny and warm here, unlike Moscow, where it was 0 or +2-3 for the whole week. So I liked my stay here as I saw the new  granite pedestal of Nicolas II  and the original icon of Virgin Port Artur. Hugs and love to all my dearest!

Tbilisi in the late March

Image
Hey there, Here I am in Tbilusi, retutning from my flying visit here on CIU business. I've stayed here since Thursday and had one day free - Friday. It was nice and sunny here and we visited Plekhanova 36, our childhood place. Now it is like Arbut street in Moscow - all pedestrian zone with my house just in the centre. Really beautiful. Now I'm waiting for my flight back home, at 5:40pm. Love and hugs to all my dearest:) Моя школа #32... Это то, что в ней сейчас... Почнп на Плеханова сохранилась! Варцихская 4 , наше крылечко, ужас....:((

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:)

Leaving on March 9...

Hey there, time is flying and we're leavinf for LA and then for Moscow the day after tomorrow.  It was a very nice stay here with Olia, Andy, Yana and the other people here. We really enjoyed it, even though it was rather cool here, cooler than one year ago.. We've been to many loc  al places and seen Andy's relatives. Love and hugs to all my nearest!
