Well it has been a wacky few weeks here. Utilities are rough here. One day I got home from the mill and had no water for a few hours, cable is intermittant --It's all in russian anyway so it doesn't matter. Electricity bumps all the time. Hell of a place to install electronic equipment.

Posted a picture here of a fine new russian fence, and some of the really old churches here. The ones in the pictures are over 1000 years old. The wooden skyscraper church is from 1683 and is built without nails. Oldest wooden church in russia, and is called the church of the accension. Still haven't been in it yet cause they are working on it but it is a beautiful building.

Went to T'ver (pronounced Ta Veer) yesterday to do some shopping. Pictures from that trip next post.

Missing you all from Torzhak.

Congralutations to my sister and brother-in -law for their new baby - Welcome Ella Grace
