Brrrr! It's cold in Torzhak Russia...

It started to get pretty cold in Russia right before I left to come back home for a bit for a vacation befor

e

going back again. Hopefully this will be the last time I have to go there! I was lucky this last time that I had a little bit bigger of a room where it would sleep 2 people instead of 1. The rest of the pictures are of the town of Torzhak, Russia.

Torzhok Russia...

I thought I would take a sec to post a couple of pics that were taken a couple of weeks ago here in Torzhak. Me with Vladimir Lenin Statue and some other statue of a famous architect.

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

Going back again.....

Well, I left to go back to Russia again today, and this time for 1 month. Hopefully it will go by fast! It feels really weird when your "VACATION" is actually going home FROM Russia! It should be the other way around.

GOOD BYE RUSSIA.....

Good bye Russia...For now! I am leaving today to go back to the states. Can't wait to be home, and back in my own bed, and be with my family again, who I missed a lot! I go back to Russia on Oct 17th, and I am sure my time at home will fly by faster than my time in Russia did. Oh well! It really doesn't matter right now, because I am coming home! YEESSS!!!!

A few pictures around the town - It was raining and about 45 degrees, ON THE 31st of AUGUST.

BRRRRRRRRRR. Had a good walk around town and I will get some more of the pictures up as time allows.

Doing well here. Kinda have this place figured out. It is a totally different world. The way they do things, the way the people interact, the things that we take for granted, they don't exist here.

Couple of more pics to give a sence of scale in this building. It is huge with so much going on. There are 3 major machine areas here. All to make LVL eventually.
