FOOD, CHARACTERS & REFLECTIONS

The next day Alexi and family and friends head back to Moscow. I will be off on the high speed train to St. Petersburg.

Before leaving, I get a tour of Vadim’s farm. He wants to develop it for agri-tourism and set up a brewery. We enjoy discussing his ideas. After our outing, we meet up with Genia and more friends for lunch and a special chocolate cake for dessert!

It reminds me how sweet life is and how special friends are…

REFLECTIONS

A special “Thanks”! to Alexei for sharing his home and family and friends!

This was a trip of a lifetime! An adventure extraordinaire!! It inspired my favorite Story Skyrt which is full of the beautiful Russian onion domes I photographed on the journey.

Wearing this skirt reminds me of the value of saying “YES!” and being open and flexible to whatever shows up next!
