I know it has been awhile since I posted anything, but where did all of my posts go? I posted since March when I went to Egypt or am I going crazy?!?! The other I know, I had typed up my experience in Copenhagen, but had not posted it since I had not uploaded the pictures yet, which is what I was going to do this morning when I found it and what I started about Brussels "missing." Oh well, life will go on. It will still be a week or so before you see or hear about Copenhagen, Brussels, United [View Full Entry]

NOT FOUND -- In case anyone was worried, I am still alive and well. I have a great trip home to the States and now back in Russia for another six months. I have a lot to write and tell about because you all know me, the Traveling Frog as they call me here in Russia, I made a stop in Brussels and Copenhagen on my way home and Quebec City on the return trip. It is past my bed time, but I did want to say hello and let you know I am still well. Thanks, Vince P.S. These are [View Full Entry]

Cirque trip on my way home. I am not sure why this did not show, up, but I wanted the Canada map to show up on my blog as being a country visited. I know it is silly, so I am going to quietly publish this blog and picture from my visit to Quebec City Canada back in summer. [View Full Entry]

I realize this is a little late posting, but coming home to surprise Mom, I could not post this to the public so here it is. I had a good trip back to the States and Mom was surprised by my visit. I will post more from the Donkey Show and my side trips getting here later after I get to my home in Atlanta. It made me feel so good today. The volleyball team wanted me to stop by today even though I was not going to play as it was my last day before leaving. When I arrived, [View Full Entry]

Initially, I had this posted with the Dinner with the Ambassador, but decided it was way too long for one reading so I cut and pasted into a second posting. I know I have taken enough of your time so you can read this one at a different time, but I had to tell you the story of the birthday party. I hope you enjoy. Freddie, who I play volleyball with, invited me to his brother's birthday party. I had met his brother, who was playing the gutar at the Mexican Restaurant some time ago. That is when I embarrassed [View Full Entry]

This is long overdue, I posted several blog entries since I started this one, so I thought I had better get it posted before I get busy with my trip home. I actually started the entry before the dinner party just so I could compare thoughts before and after so here we go... Monday, June 18, I know it may be boring with a lot of starched white shirt type people, but I am excited about this evening. I have been invited to attend a reception with Ambassador William Burns, the US Ambassador for Russia, at his residence (Spaso House, [View Full Entry]

I have not traveled and/or done much interesting lately, just worked, so not a lot to report; however, today, I took the bus to Moscow. It was suppose to take one hour instead of two hours by train, well, it took me 2.5 hours to get to the train station, which is where I needed to be at to meet the friends I met on the cruise in January. The seats were more comfortable, but the trip was just as long, and had it been hot, there would have been no air condition so I think I am going to [View Full Entry]

You are not going to believe this one, but I was trying to send some stuff home so I did not have to carry so much in my suitcase so I had it all packaged up in brown boxes and sent Denis with money to the Post Office to fill out the customs forms and send the packages. He came back with my money and packages. I asked what happened and he said they had to be "wrapped them in a white 'bedsheet' or 'pillowcase'!" I died laughing and asked what in the world is that for and the response, so [View Full Entry]

I had a very good weekend in, as they would call it, "Peter", short for Saint Petersburg. You know me, I of course have several stories to tell, but overall, it was an excellent weekend and over 250 pictures for anyone that wants to see them...lol I will just post a few here, but if you want to see all of them, let me know and I can send them to you. The best story was the train ride. I thought I was all comfortable with it until Michael, Dasha and Denis are all questioning me about how it can [View Full Entry]
