Windows to Russia

This morning I got up early and hit the bus stop as 30 of us tried to squeeze onto a small bus. I was the last one into the sardine can and 20 minutes later, after 10 more stops and a dozen more people squeezed into a seriously over crowded small bus, we made it […]

As Sveta and I went to the train station the other day as I left Russia, I spotted something new and unique as we entered the first train station near our home… I asked Sveta to take some pictures as I would not be back for awhile. This is some of what she sent me… […]

Tomorrow I will spend the day trying to get a train ticket back home to Russia. It is not an easy task in Kiev and they will try to rip me off as they always try to do. There never seems to be enough seats to go from Kiev to Moscow. There is always a […]

I am sipping a cup of coffee and looking out the window 19 stories high in the sky. I am in a hotel called Tурист. Or basically Tourist is how it is pronounced. The breakfast program is a wonderful buffet and the place is okay! I have yet to have hot water and they say […]
