Sacramento Seeing Olia and Family

Image
Hey there, here we're at Sacramento. We arrived on Feb 22 late in the evening. Today is 24 Feb and we're getting used to the local time. It's pretty cool here - by night -2, by day - +12 and cold wind. But it's sunny and bright around - no snow, green grass and magnolias blooming! Kai and Yana are sneezing and coughing...Olia is always busy looking after them and writing for her blog - Oliamoda. Here are some pics:

Last week in Moscow

Hey there, Here we are at dacha. This February is very snowy and frosty. But everything is very beautiful. Even stray dogs enjoy the snow. On Thursday we’re leaving for LA till March 10. Getting back with Olia. She’ll stay in Moscow for 1 week. Love and hugs to all my dearest.

February in Moscow

Image
It's been pretty cold in Moscow lately. We continue going to dacha every week as our Old-New house is under final decoration. We put in furniture, shelves, curtains etc. It takes a lot of time but the prospect of living in this comfortable house is so appealing. On Feb 22 we're flying to the US for 2 weeks and stay there until March 10. Hugs and love to all my dearest!! Here are some pics from dacha and Moscow.

Hey there, Marina and I have visited Yaroslavl for one night and a day. We did Mother Anna's business and dropped in the Tolgsky convent near the city. It was very beautiful and welcoming, even though the blizzard was there. Late in the evening, we got home by express train. Hugs to all my nearest. Here are some pics.

Hey there, Now we're here in Moscow. It's beautiful after New Year. It's snowing but not a lot. The time difference is 4 hours so I keep waking up at 6am. Hope this'll disappear soon. Met my old friend Nina and walked in Yakimanka district. Here're some pics. Hugs to everybody.

Kemerovo and Atyrau Cancellation

Image
Hey there, I've been to Kemerovo on 16.12.17 and was going to Atyrau on 23.12.17, but it was canceled! Thank God!! The CEM said it was going to be in Ust Kamenogorsk, which is 2200km from Atyrau. So we decided to cancel this Inspection. Now we are preparing for London Inspector Meeting on Jan. 23. WE're leaving for Canary islands on Dec. 26. Wish us Good Luck!

Here we are, in Tbilisi. We arrived on Nov. 23 and had Michael and Yana visiting us in Moscow the evening before. They both are great! Tbilisi is great too, but it's rather cold here. Zurab turned 70 and a new baby girl Elena was born on Nov 21. She is beautiful and tiny. Look at some pics. Hugs to all my dearest..

SOMEONE 2017 Exhibition

Image
Hey there, Today I've been on an amazing exhibition "Someone 2017". It's all about art just before and after the Bolshevik Revolution, October 2017. We saw many great pictures of people at that time. It was clear that artists could feel that something terrible had happened and as a results they turned to fantasy, shock and myth. I was glad to see my old and close friend Alla and have a cup of tea after visiting the exhibition. Love and hugs to all my dearest.
