Daily life in Vlad...without the workers!

We've gotten into a bit of a routine now, but that will all change on Monday when Annette and Karyn get back from Hong Kong. Now we have some quiet time in the morning, following our coffee in bed, of course. Then we putter around the apartment doing some cleaning, checking e-mail, etc., study a little Russian. We often go to the windows to watch cars sliding down the hill or spinning up the hill and are glad we don't have a car! We can see the bay with lots of little black dots, ice fishermen trying to catch a few little fish. Morrie thinks they look like the surf fish Otis Easley used to catch in the Pacific. He caught hundreds and these fellows just pull them in one at a time.

Usually in the afternoon we go out for a walk and do our grocery shopping. That is pretty much a daily thing. Today we walked to the bay on the other side of the peninsula and watched brave souls jumping into a hole in the ice. Sounds a bit fool hardy in a Speedo! Anyway, we're settling in and will send pictures one of these days. The two men came to install the DSL Sat. One of them carried a brbrief case and did paperwork while the other one strung a wire and plugged it in!
