Who doesn’t have a photo with a sculpture to Chekhov? Only the one who hasn’t been to Tomsk yet. My friend Marina sent me new photos, and I decided to share them along with my own photos and a story.

Lost in Boston
I was walking around Boston yesterday and I thought it was all Dan’s “fault”. He awakened the frog-traveler in me. And now I periodically need to go somewhere. My mother used to say, ” the Domovoy (literally “Household Lord”) doesn’t like you.”

Pizzelles and my travel experience
Time to time I bake pizzelles. Pizzelles are traditional Italian waffle cookies, as Google says.
I like them. They are easy to make, remind me Russian waffles and go very well with coffee at work.
Every time when I think of them, I remember a funny story happened to me.

Yesterday I went to change the oil in my car and also to get a new inspection sticker. Usually I go to the dealer where we bought my car. It is more expensive but my husband wants to keep me on the safe side.
I remembered my first time there. It was when I didn’t drive yet. Daniel needed to get some service there I don’t remember what it was. Daniel dropped my off at a shopping plaza near the dealer place. I went to a few stores just browsing . When I became bored I decided to join my husband.
