So European So European, your trip walking around the city reminds me of wandering in Rome, and Paris. Your photos of the Armitage look like Bamberg. I hadn't expected it to be so familiar somehow I had imagined an unknown and undescribed culture...a sort of exotic blank canvas, if that is possible!! even the weather is unpredictably Northern European! xx
Love the story so far... Wee man's progress learning Russian has slowed somewhat since you left. Can you get a little boy book from the Russian book store? He needs more Russian than 'Taskyvortsky' surely? xx I remember being given a knitted white mouse dressed in a blue coat with yellow shoes/whiskers by Mr Rubichov. If he is a folklore mouse maybe get a storybook about him? Enjoy your adventures in the bookshop and beyond xx love JPD xx
Good luck. Good luck! There's so much to see, but you just have to decide on what bits of the Hermitage you most want to see. Looking forward to reading about it. X
