Last week was dubbed the Meghan sandwich business week by Sarah, since we saw Meghan on both Monday and Friday in Vermont. Monday was the Andrew Bird show. We picked up Meghan at Dartmouth and drove the long haul to Burlington where we ate a glorious feast at Al's French Fries (Sarah's "grilled cheese" consisted of a piece of american cheese on a ( Read more... )

So I've been yearning to see this movie since I heard about the possibility a couple years ago. It was definitely as wonderful as I had hoped it would be.

But as a summary, I split off from my travelling group and was much better off. I decided to tour Moscow alone, but as I was walking around Red Square I ran into the three lovely ( Read more... )

Got to Russia after a 1.5 day train ride. The first night was loads of fun, with a party going on in our train cabin for the early evening. I didn't get good pictures but some others did and I'll get them off their facebook pages. I managed to get split up from Gene and Adam, thank god, and landed in a cabin with three Australians who were on a ( Read more... )
