My next project will be the Moscow Metro. It is fascinating.  The stops are so beautiful, interesting and different.  The escalators. bomb shelters and chandeliers make is a world unto itself. Perfect for a Sunday morning photo shoot.

Welcome to year 3!


Sorry about not posting lately. This year I'll try to keep updated.  Let's see, Wills and Kate got married and given the number of Brits I work with we had to have a street party. We all got together and made Fantasizers (oops!) Fascinators!  it was great fun!  We all watched the wedding while also trying to do IB review.  Gottal love the attempt!  My students sat very seriously through a review while I was wearing a formal dress and fascinator. We were interrupted by a male teacher wearing a tutu and offering cake. They did not bat an eye.

Winter in Moscow

So this winter is nothing like the last one. Last year, it was amazingly cold for a long period...so cold that it didn't snow. This year, while the US and Europe are freezing, Moscow has been warm. This, of course means that it snows almost every day!  This means that the skiing if fantastic and it's a little easier to brave the elements. I have to admit, though, I miss the sun. We went for a sleigh ride in the middle of the forest in a blizzard. Thus far it's been an amazing trip.
