04-04-09 - George Lessard in Chelyabinsk, Russia

Today is Sunday and I'm having a quiet day off at the B&B... I think I've exhausted my interpreter and host.. so they need a day off too.. Saturday was a quiet day too.. Andre set up his Flickr account at http://www.flickr.com/photos/sunuralfoto/
and had our translator Eugenia and I to his apartment where his wife cooked us a lovely meal of potatoes aux gratin and chicken with sliced fruits (including delicious local varieties of pear and apples that I've never tasted before)..

Monday I will show him how to set up a blog and connect Flickr to his blog so that he may also display his work there.

I was able to upload the video I made of the TV screen while the local TV station interviewed Andrey and I to YouTube and have several more little glimpses of Chelyabinsk on video that I shall also try to upload in the next few days...

The Yellowknife pins (with the story card) and the shopping bag I was so kindly given by Mayor Gord Van Tighem's office before I left have been great hits with those I've presented them to..

Around the streets of Chelyabinsk, Russia on April 02, 2009. This glass enclosed office tower is the highest building in the city. It is the International Trade Centre. The directory panels on the ground floor behind the reception desk shows only about 25 percent occupancy. It was only finished a few months ago, but my client, Yudin Andrey Nikolaevich of Chelyabinsk, Russia who runs a specialty photo studio with this website http://www.sunfoto.ru/ was able to arrange access to the roof so we could take pictures of the cityscape... they will be on Flickr soon.
