Advent Calendar 7

This year, besides the children’s Archstoyanie festival that I wrote about earlier, I had several interesting trips both with my family and without them. I visited Stavropol and Belgorod for the first time; with the family we went to Pereslavl-Zalessky and Lake Pleshcheyevo, where we rode SUP boards and paddle boats and enjoyed nature; we made it to the SUP festival in Suzdal, where we paddled and walked a lot; we went hiking on the Nerka several times; we once again traveled to Rechnoye and Omsk, where we stayed for almost a week; we went to Israel to visit the graves of Masha’s father, grandmother, and grandfather, where I met Masha’s uncles and their families, her sister, and a whole bunch of friends; and I traveled across the ocean to see my son, where the two of us swam in the newly renamed Gulf of America.
