<br />
All the big in-town events seem to happen on Sundays--marathons, parades and whatnot--so if the roads are going to close down, which they do, it will probably be on a Sunday. And it turns out Sundays are about the only days we drive our car here--due to a combination of the behemoth weekday traffic and the efficiency of public transport--so in fact it turns out we drive in Moscow very little.<br />
<br />
The Moscow Metro has big, bold, LOUD, underground caverns, with each stop ornamented and individualized to a remarkable extent. They are embellished with not only marble and granite facades, but also scrolls, pillars, intricate mosaics, frescos, sculpture in bas relief, chandeliers, and even full sculpture in the round. The amount of sheer labor that it must have required to create them is staggering.<br />
<br />
There is a distinctive odor, not unpleasant but it can be stifling, as you descend the extended escalators. At rush hour the press of the masses is something to behold. So many people. The trains run like clockwork. It's really impressive.<br />
<br />
I borrowed the following images from the internet.<br />

A new Russian friend told me they are the palaces of the people. Doesn't that sound apt? and Soviet? I like it.<br />

<span style="text-align: left;">It sounds ironic, but I love the feeling of independence one gets from using public transport--it gives a sense of complete anonymity that I never feel driving a car. With so many people coming and going, you're just another face in the crowd. Nothing to see here. Free to explore unhindered. It also helps that I blend in as a blond northerner. In Georgia, I clearly stood out in a "you're not from around here" sort of way. In many ways, coming here I can feel that I'm getting closer to my family's roots in Scandinavia. </span></div>

I've taken to exploring the city on my own during the school days. They are surprisingly short days, as the new school concludes at 1:30pm, a fact I wasn't entirely pleased to discover. We have had some disappointments with the Lycée, and I can only hope the year will improve from here. </div>

When I left Georgia, I promised myself that I would take time off from working for at least one semester. I am trying to make good on that promise, taking time to find a good balance and getting comfortable with our life here, but sometimes I panic and wonder what I'm doing. A good walk in the park usually helps.</div>

The weather is holding for now, but the mornings can be quite chilly. Moscow's reputation for cold weather does not disappoint. I think I caught these blooms during their last hurrah.<br />
<br />
Gorky Park has the most epically huge entrance I have ever seen, it literally took my breath away. I didn't even bother to take a pic because it couldn't have fit its grandeur in the frame. You have to experience it to believe it.<br />
<br />
The flower gardens are lovely and varied. It's interesting how the style of gardening is different in every country. Perhaps it's because I'm seeing the overgrown end of summer, but it was wild, tangled, massive and unexpected. I liked it. <br />

The scale of life in Moscow feels epic, larger than life. I have never lived in such a large metropolitan area and I find it overwhelming: massive monuments around every corner, streets extending 20 lanes wide packed with traffic, buildings the scale of which you have to see to believe, and an extensive never-ending metro system that somehow connects it all.<br />
<br />
We arrived just in time to start up at the Lycée Française de Moscou. I am pleased to say that we slipped into a nice rhythm from our very first moments of life on what we lovingly refer to as "the compound", a little American enclave in the heart of Moscow. We are surrounded by kind and generous neighbors, the likes of which I have probably never known, and they all have children who immediately absorbed ours into their packs that roam the enclosed area with a sort of free-range ethic. My parental heart is set at ease.<br />
<br />
The skies are blue, the air is crisp and cool, school is in session, and we are getting settled.<br />

We have started to explore the city. I realize intuitively that this is a place where I could lose myself, a place I will not be able to know intimately, as I did Tbilisi. This is both exciting and terrifying. Luckily the language is nothing new. In Georgia they speak Russian as a secondary language and I took a beginner course there which gave me a boost of confidence to start out. I will be continuing with language instruction here and look forward with great excitement to developing that ability.<br />

The girls wanted iPods this summer, so we provided them with the means of earning the necessary funds (the little guy just liked being out where the action was). They worked hard throughout the summer and both reached their goals: one iPod Shuffle and one Nano (and two very proud parents). </div>

We have a long family history with Taylors Falls on the St. Croix River. My great great grandfather came to MN in 1878 to teach at settlements located along the river and settled himself nearby in Lindstrom, MN. His daughter, my great grandmother, tells a story that one night while walking from Taylors Falls to Lindstrom, her father was trailed by a large cougar. My grandfather recalls riding a sled to school in wintertime in Taylors Falls during the Depression, and walking it back uphill at the end of each day. My father camped, hiked, and motorcycled all through the area. </div>

As a child I remember visiting regularly to explore the huge potholes with my cousins. In high school I came with carloads of friends to go cliff jumping into the river, which is now illegal. This summer I took my own children to Taylors Falls to go rock climbing.</div>

When we signed up for life abroad, it marked the end of slow-paced summers. Now it's the only time we have to reconnect with stateside family and friends, so we have a lot of ground to cover. It is rare that we sleep in one place for more than 7 nights in a row.<br />
<br />
For the first few years I tried, unsuccessfully, to simplify and slow things down; but I have come to accept it for what it is. We run it like a marathon, taking in every moment so that it will sustain us for the year ahead.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10346626862430340972noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1729219106029008231.post-27386028406853279762016-07-04T00:09:00.000+04:002017-05-03T00:11:41.662+04:00Happy reunions<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Early on we were alerted to the possibility of completing our tour in Georgia in leisurely style aboard the ocean liner Queen Mary 2; we set our hearts upon it and made it happen. The ship departs from Southampton, England (the same point of departure for such epic voyages as the Mayflower and the Titanic) and 8 days later arrives in New York City. </div>

We thoroughly enjoyed the ship and all its varied amenities, but were surprised by the mostly cold, damp, and extremely windy passage. The few sunny days were spent outside and were fully documented.</div>

Mealtime was a grand affair. Each night had a different theme and formal dress code. We mostly enjoyed dressing up but had the possibility to dine elsewhere when the formality became wearisome . . . which it did. Part way through the week I had an odd epiphany when I realized that no one was taking selfies during mealtime. Of the approximately 2600 passengers on board, the vast majority was over age 55. It was like taking a journey back in time to a bygone era.<br />

Our last night in Georgia. Everything starts to speed up toward the end. This spring I often found myself looking out the window as we would drive through town, with the soundtrack of life playing in my head; and it'd be like that part of the movie after the protagonist has triumphed over the main obstacle and the story just speeds along with clipped scenes, overlaid with upbeat but conclusive music.<br />
<br />
The Georgia we are leaving is not the same Georgia in which we arrived. On the positive side we have noticed much better supply chain management, improved roads and highways, and a general cleaning up of the city where before there was graffiti (of the dilapidated paper variety) everywhere -- litter is an ongoing problem. Many of the old abandoned buildings that have sat vacant for years are being torn down and new development is going up. There has been a deluge of Western-style development that has changed the face of Tbilisi. New shopping malls, grocery store chains, movie theaters, amusement parks, coffee and donut shops, American-chain pizza delivery and fast food restaurants, specialty restaurants, "Georgian-fusion" cuisine, city tour buses, an expanded and better developed tourism industry, and even a <i>Hard Rock Cafe</i> (what?!) have all popped up where before there was nothing of the kind. It's all happening so fast, I hope, truly, for the best for Georgia.<br />
<br />
We are not the same people we were when we arrived. It is harder to quantify how we have changed, but, most obviously, we are now a French-speaking family, we are professional packers and travelers, and we are veteran expats. We've gained greater skill navigating the vicissitudes of life, we have an unmistakably clear understanding of what a privileged life we lead, and we have experienced firsthand the joys and tensions of cultural exchange. Our world-view has expanded.<br />
<br />
These skills should serve us well, because it looks like we will be doing the expat thing for the foreseeable future. We are off to another post, another life, another reinventing of self and family. We go home to America for the summer, but next fall we begin anew in Moscow, Russia.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10346626862430340972noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1729219106029008231.post-632713458665592872016-06-19T23:14:00.000+04:002016-08-25T03:50:38.391+04:00Last Sunday<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There is so much to say about our time in the Avlabari Branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, more than I could ever write in a few paragraphs. Lots of blood, sweat and tears were spent. To sum it up: We had a mission, we worked hard, and the departure was bittersweet.<br />
<br />
We will continue to look on with great interest and anticipation at the growth and progress of our tiny branch.</div>

After three and a half years in Georgia, I have concluded that Georgians are at their best around the supra table. They come ready for a good time, to share their hearts and hospitality, and to celebrate with gratitude. The Tamada (toastmaster) leads with many different toasts: to God, to Georgia, to the dearly departed, to children, friendship, love, family . . . they can go on and on.<br />
<br />
Insincerity and superficiality are nowhere to be found, and it seems to come naturally to them to be able to dig deep and give poetic verbal expression to their most profound sentiments. I'm sure I had no inkling of the bonds that could be forged through thoughtful toasts combined with raising your glasses together. It's a lesson I have only begun to learn from these, my dearest of dear Georgian families.<br />

I became a believer in the Turkish Bath experience whilst in Tbilisi. It was a bit out of my comfort zone at first, but it didn't take long to convert. And become a regular.<br />
<br />
I ask you: What could be more relaxing than the healing properties of the hot sulfuric water, a full-body scrub down, and a couple hours unwinding with girlfriends? Nothing. The answer is nothing.<br />

Feels overwhelming and unwelcoming. </div>

Talk about highs and lows, stresses and joys, rockstar status and total isolation. It has been a journey. Although I unintentionally stumbled into teaching four years ago at Ecole Francaise du Caucase, I leave feeling satisfied with my contribution. I really loved the children and felt fortunate that I was able to teach at every level from kindergarten up through twelfth grade.<br />
<br />
It is an amazing thing to move to a foreign country, completely separate from anything you've ever known, and to integrate into a community there. That was perhaps my greatest accomplishment.<br />

Our horseback trek brought us to the trailhead for Chaladi Glacier. The trail starts with a rustic drawbridge across a thundering mountain river. The trail then winds up through the rocky valley as the river tapers into a spring. The glacier spans the top of the mountain peaks. Just gorgeous. I only wish I'd had my standard lens to get some good wide angle shots.</div>

Our friend R. joined us on this our final journey through Georgia. He has been a dear friend to our family and, incidentally, has a calming influence on the children. He is always a pleasure to have along. We will cherish the memories we have made together.</div>

I love these two shots of my girls because of what they represent. A couple years ago we set a family goal to go on a horseback trek through the mountains before we left Georgia. As the months and opportunities passed by, our goal started to feel out of reach.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These pictures capture the joy, relief and satisfaction of that goal being achieved. We got our horses and had just ridden through town and this was the moment the kids realized, "Hey, we can do this. We ARE doing this!" It was so beautiful.</div>

We weren't planning on taking a road trip, in fact we had long anticipated taking a small plane through the mountaintops to our destination, but when less than optimal conditions caused our flight cancellation, we decided on a dime to take the 9-hour drive and make it worth it.<br />
<br />
(Also, after many months of going without, I finally got my camera repaired and returned to me. Though I only had the telephoto lens, it was enough. This trip was the initiatory run.)<br />
