June 21, 2010

This picture was taken on June 21, 2010 at about 10:20 pm. You can just see the sun setting above the buildings. Look how much sun is in the sky! WE LOVE IT!! It will stay really light for almost another 40 minutes. This is out our NORTH window. We see the sun set and the sun rise like this out the SOUTH window at the office in the MIDDLE of the day in the winter time...but that is another story for another day and right now we are loving the SUN!!!

To celebrate the longest-day-with-the-most-sun (and because it was our 38th wedding anniversary) we went down to Arbat street. We had a mikshake at the Hard Rock Cafe and then walked the street and saw all of the artists and their paintings. Great evening! A few weeks back we bought two water color paintings of St Basil on this street and as we were coming out of Starbucks with our pastry, an artist stopped me and started sketching my face. We started to walk away because we were not interested in a portrait, however....he just kept drawing...and now I have a self portrait! Yes, it does look like me!

how fun! take a pic of your self portrait so we can see! summertime would be so fun up there with all the light, i guess it probably wouldn't start cooling off until much later in the day too?

Happy Anniversary! What an experience you are having over there. Although I'm enjoying the phase of my life I'm in right now...there are definitely things to look forward to.
