Out of Moscow

Music Festival

Hi Friends!

Last weekend I had the opportunity to be involved in a music festival outside of Moscow. There were about 10 different groups of musicians, ranging from full bands to soloists singing with a music track or a guitar. We were able to play two numbers and we were well received by the crowd. The highlight for me was that I was able to play a baby grand piano, something I haven’t done in years! It was a great time, here are some pictures from the day.

That’s me on the piano

We have come to the last post about our Siberian trip. We hope you have enjoyed looking at the pictures and seeing some of the things we did while we were there. However, these pictures only scratch the surface! There is so much more we can tell you about the land of ice sculptures, mammoths and frozen rivers. So don’t worry, when we move there next year there will be many more posts about the frozen north east.

Thanks for checking out our blog!

Yummy!!

We visited an area called the Old City, located near the center of town, which was reconstructed in the architectural style of the 19th century. Most of the wooden houses are newly built copies of half destroyed, burnt, or dismantled ones.
