weather has turned beautiful here thank goodness. The whole time Dean was hear it was very drury, so too bad he missed all of this good stuff. I am sure he will be disappointed (yeah right, he is back home, so I doubt he will even blink an eye). Have no fear, I am a far cry from fitting in around here. No matter how I dress, I don't feel that I would be able to fit the dress code. I would have to wear these boots to even have a chance. So just try and picture me in those and know that there is not a chance that I will ever want to make the leap to live here any longer than three weeks! Guaranteed. Dean and I did an informal research study while sitting at a restaurant and determined that nearly 50% of all women who passed by were wearing something similar to this. WHY??? ....The Looman's said that the plaza area turns pretty interesting in the summer. The people may dress like Eskimos in the winter but come summer they turn into California girls. Minimal clothing is the norm. So all you guys, this might be the place to be in the summer! Well one more day of "rest" and then back to see Sy. I can't wait.

Pizza
No doubt about it, I have had more pizza in Russia in this short period of time than I would likely get at home, though pizza is something I could eat daily no matter where I am. Today, was spent sleeping in (til 7), working on a project for work, running, and then meeting up with another American family and the Looman's for an afternoon of visiting. The Looman boys are still learning to ride their bikes. Because summer is so short here and the fact that there does not appear to be anywhere to really ride, they never get much of a chance to master bike riding. But they had it down pat after today and it was great to watch them go from wobbling to riding like little maniacs around the plaza area. We went to California Pizza for supper, followed by icecream. Both were good for me. This is sort of a boring post as I didn't see anyone climbing out a manhole, no aqua aerobics, or anything cool like that. The

Ha Ha, about those boots, most of them have fur inside all the way to the toes. They are sooo warm, I bought a pair on our second trip and have really loved them here at home. You don't have to get the really high heel, they have so many to choose from. The guy I bought them from was so thrilled to get me out of my insulated hiker boots so I looked like a "real lady". lol They should have awesome sales on them right now, mine weren't real expensive in Dec, so by now they should be great prices. Shopping for mementos was really fun, going through the outdoor markets and finding things that are so totally Russian. I didn't wear the boots anymore after we got back to the apt till I got back home here. The heels are just amazing to walk in, I don't know how they do it except I have decided their feet have to be deformed. I went right back to my hikers cuz thats what we were doing, hiking around in snow. Glad you have enjoyed the pizza, we have very fond memories of it as well. What size of clothes did you take over for Sy? Just wondering how big he is cuz with the pics its hard to tell. Hope you slept good again and have a good day tomorrow. My fav part of the morning is checking in with you to see what you have done for the day while we were sleeping. :-)
ReplyDeleteWell...sounds like things were pretty uneventful for you today (yesterday). I was soo thrilled to get to chat with you last night (morning?)!!! I have been filling everyone in on your adventures and trip. Had to show off Sy to everyone last night that came for dinner. I might be kind of a proud new aunt...and slightly impatient, so hope you are home very soon! Maybe you could show me some of your new aqua-aerobic moves when you get home--ha,ha! Well... take care of yourself and give Sy loads of hugs and kisses when you see him next. Oh...and if by chance you would like to call again...please do. I would love to hear from you again. Love your adventures! ~Kate
