Trip Report: Tver, Russia II

[av8or1]

Gang,

It's 2 am central time and I'm finally back home with all of my stuff pulled out of the truck and into a somewhat-reasonable semblence of normality.  Pseudo-ready to return to work tomorrow, but not really.  Are we ever after a vacation?  Well sometimes I guess, depending on the vacation...

Anyway, I'm way too tired to write anything now, but just wanted to let y'all know that I'm back...and in a way wishing I hadn't left.  In another way, I'm glad I did.  Strange isn't it?  That happens to me everytime.

I can't resist posting a few photos, they're just for you jb!  I taught everyone in sight how to Hook 'Em (some could do it better than others) and then I snapped photos - just especially for my good ole pal jb!  Funny how everyone could understand what the University of TEXAS was but didn't understand why anyone would care about A&M!   No matter how I tried to explain it to them!  Even in Russia they have the right idea!  Hahahaha! <duck>

I also took photos of Old Reliable and Old Faithful, as well as the agency office (and building) and the little grocery that's right next to the office where they sell some not-so-bad ice cream.  I also took some general photos of the square where the agency is located next to a bank (with a reliable ATM) so that you could get an idea of how things are situated in Tver, at least where LTP is located anyway.  My building had some really awful-looking mailboxes, so I took some of those to to compliment the one that has been uploaded to RWD already.  Finally I took advantage of a few opportunities to snap a few 'select' photos of women on the streets of Tver for the still-actively-looking guys.  These women were mostly too young, but boy did they look good...hey!  Who's thinking of the rest of ya (well those of you who aren't married/involved already, but I digress) huh?

I'll get to the meat of my trip this week.  Gotta rest a bit first.   Olga and I spent practically all of our time together and we're very compatible.  We have strong feelings and ... well I'll save the details for the report proper...

Best to all,

Jerry

Glad that you made it home safely. I know that the same bags that you took over there are now much lighter on the way home  - just hope you didn't have too much trouble wrestling with them at SVO and in the US  Your pictures are wonderful, from the smiles on your faces, I can anticipate a happy ending to your trip report  . It seems like months ago we met each other, during the first leg of our trip. We start our trip back tomorrow.  It has been a great trip for us too. I know what you mean when you say "I'm back...and in a way wishing I hadn't left.  In another way, I'm glad I did."  It is really a great time over here, making re-acquaintances with friends and family.  But real life is in the US, not here.  I look forward to your TR - it seems that the hard work has really paid of for one of the great guys!
