You have been busy while I was away – 44 posts! That would take me several months! I enjoyed looking and reading about your trip to Russia. I like the Kalinka song and the wedding pictures. While in Russia I saw two weddings, one in front of the Hermitage museum. I had a film camera then, but I’ll find them.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6360427196522365144.post-61544319561882891882011-10-11T10:29:03.207-06:002011-10-11T10:29:03.207-06:00Very interesting tradition!So glad that you enjoye...Very interesting tradition!So glad that you enjoyed this trip, it's a different world indeed!<br />LéiaCezar and Léiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14408385000169533010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6360427196522365144.post-40029037528743083862011-10-11T07:14:59.421-06:002011-10-11T07:14:59.421-06:00Lol … I love the “boot” solution.

There's a news report today that our Tourism Ministry is going all out to woo tourists from Russia. According to their survey there is a group of rich Russians making the rounds. Apparently they are bored with Europe and are heading East.<br />Your Dad had written river and adventure books? Wow, that's great! kaykualahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03240206222973305395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6360427196522365144.post-74033718034550112042011-10-11T01:41:39.599-06:002011-10-11T01:41:39.599-06:00Wonderful experience.
