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

first november

The building next door. I told you you'd see it a lot.

We went for a walk this evening to a the fancier-than-France bakery Moscow Mom introduced us to, oo la la. We bought ham and cheese pizza slices, bread with raisins, two baguettes and croissants for the morning. Stefan rode his bike.

Stefan and Camille have POUNDS of candy from Halloween–Stefan had everything for a perfect cowboy costume, but wanted to wear his last year's tiger costume topped by a witch's hat. He said he was a Tee Witch. A very Ramona-the-Pest kind of costume with a high "huh?" factor. Camille reprised last year's pirate look.

Now the election. Deep breath. To get it to a mail box in time, my ballot was patriotically escorted home by a Marine.

Mmm, the bakery looks impressive – as does the building next door. What is it? Looks like a hotel.
Low key Halloween here. Where did they get all the candy? Expat community?
No expats in Mito, just a couple of us.
No snow yet?

Tamara told me about the good time on Halloween.
That French bakery looks so pretty with everything in white and the baked good look very tempting and delicious.

Sounds like Stefan is assimilating well. A tiger is much more Russian than a cowboy.

Stefan a Siberian tiger with an attitude, it’s very Russian. Ana was a pirate as well, Keith Richards kind of thing.
Election day is almost up on use! The whole world is watching, is there even a race?
