Ivan says Dos Vedanya Vlad...

Prevyet Comrades,
I think Dos Vedanya means, until we meet again, and we do hope to do Vlad again, so that word seems appropriate. Our last days were far to quick but memorable. My cold slowed me down and now Jan has a bit of one but mind over matter is working pretty well for her.
Natasha and Vasilisa spent the evening, meeting with us. The Last morning was hectic as N left before 8 and V a little later. Showers were difficult as the light bulb blew. I know that sounds silly. In this apt. you tape the switch off, pull the bulb, go to the store, realize the chinese made one of a kind lights and you cannot get a replacement. Sooo you buy a new fixture and go home to remove the old fixture, replace it with the new, screw in bulb, untape the switch and let there be light. This is all accomplished between a wonderful "blini breakfast" by Karyn and Annette and the airport taxi at 11am.
The rush to the airport was unnecessary as the plane was delayed 5 hours.
The flight was 9 hours and 7 time zones. About the same as our Frankfort to Denver flight but we didn't come close to leaving Russia.
I will send a few pictures along.
Spoka de noche for now. Good night. Morrie

Hello! You don't actually know me, I don't think, but I reckon we have a bit in common, being 'neighbors' (that's a stretch, for sure) in the same general part of the world. I 'tripped' on your link tonight- which is a wonder since I quit blog hopping a long time ago- too time consuming... and thoroughly enjoyed the posts I read! Special Hello to my dear friend Annette! Great to see pix of her and hope to meet you, Jan and Karyn sometime too! Have heard the names of some you mentioned for quite awhile.

Thanks for your note Anita B. Would like for Jan and I to meet you sometime. I'll tell Annette hello for you. We are in Moscow for a few more hours. Morrie
