Friday the 23rd, we were invited by the curator for a private tour of a museum that highlights a famous Ukrainian sculptress named Vera Mukhina. She was actually born in Soviet Latvia I guess, but spent part of her childhood in Feodocia. (Look her up; it's a fascinating bit of soviet history). Sergei is the curator and artist and author of this book that we are helping translate. They are either very thankful for our work or maybe they think we're rich and might be influential in some way (a great big HA, there) we'll see.
Anastasia is amazingly patient with all of these tours. Any American kid would be ripping their hair out. Every day we find something new to love about her.
Famous sculpure of a common man and women with the hammer and cycle (Worker and Kolkhoz Woman) statue is abt 25 meters high and was originally exhibited at the World's Fair in Paris (1937) and now stands in Moscow, Russia.

I so LOVED my Ukrainian pedicure I didn't even have to worry about making small talk!
I'm so impressed you're helping with translating. And what a cool museum. You're right about the normal American kid pulling their hair out!
Glad you're all okay. I get worried when you go days without posting. Thought maybe Calvin fell in a pot hole and you're all in a scary hospital or something.
