AH..a pretty day J This means I left the house, sans rain boots, and walked everywhere.
Today I met Max from Barcelona and Greg from Los Angeles. Both boys appear to be normal… new friends? I think yes. Kavin and I discussed the possibility of him helping me set up an Internet connection after class was through and I weighed how logical that would be this late in the game. After class I wanted to go to the Hermitage, but upon arrival found hundreds of people waiting in line to go in. I said “Eff that.” and took a picture of a kitten in a flowerbed. I proceeded to Dom Knigi, bought a book of poetry. They are French poets, and have both a French version and Russian version of every poem by the 7 writers. I walked at least 7 miles total during the day and was ready for food and family by the time I got home. OH and I walked by the post office Rick told me existed on Nevskii Prospekt! Hooray!!
Tamara is home now from the Datch (I never know how long she’ll be around so I just enjoy my weird and beautiful time with her). I think she is crazier everytime we interact and I love her. I was having my soup for dinner when she came in and began hovering. She then took my soup bowl before I was finished and began to slowly pour some of the soup into my spoon so I could drink it. We had three round of her pouring me soup before it was actually all gone. We laughed. Then we told Irina about it and I’ve never seen her laugh so hard. It was a beautiful and strange evening.
