twenty-something years of "what have you been up to?"

gorky park

Written by

Russia has allowed me to have the internet!

We rode the crazy-fast metro to Gorky Park, to visit the forest with tout de Moscou. The leaf bouquets and leaf crowns reminded me a Carl Larson painting. Then we sat in the park and had sheeshleek, the Russian version of brochettes, pork and chicken. You could also get a skewered whole trout, but we passed. If you go to walk in the forest of Gorky Park to make leaf bouquets you cannot be too dressed up. Four inch high heels are the correct shoe to wear with a leaf crown, apparently.

You’re back! You have created such a monster; we’ve all become so dependent on your blog. Beautiful fall colors. I think you should of gone for the fish on the stick! You need to go mushrooming, before it gets too cold.

Hi guys,
Finally, internet.
My vicarious life in Russia resumes at last.
And with great photos!
I showed them to my Niger babies.
Enjoy the fall.
Prep for the winter.
I remember B.C. winters too vividly, -40!

You haven’t seen anything yet. Wait until the snow falls and you see the Russian women parading around the streets in 4″ stiletto heeled boots that probably cost hundreds of dollars. These boots are slippery, not warm and the snow, slush, etc. will ruin them.

Was the shashlik lamb? That’s the only “real” one! I agree: try the fish! What beautiful fall colors.

What beautiful leaves. What is the matter with your Russian, Peter. Is it somewhat like Dad’s French. Ha. Looks like you are enjoying.
