My Weekend Date!
I have a date on Valentine’s Day!
Since my boyfriend at home is reading this and probably wondering what the heck I am talking about, let me show you my handsome and dashing date!
Does anyone know who that guy is?
I’ll give you three guesses:
1. Pushkin
2. Tchaikovsky
3. Tsar Nicholas II
That was a pretty easy give away eh? No? Maybe?
I have a 7:00pm Date with Mr. Tchaikovsky! Well, kind of. I more or less have a date with Jessi to go see The Nutcracker at the Mikhailovsky Theatre, but a girl can dream right? It would be a dream too, as far as I know, because I don’t think Tchaikovsky played the ladies field anyway.
Anyhoo! That’s my plans for Valentine’s Day! I wanted to go to the Mariinsky Theatre, but they didn’t have any ticket sellers for the Mariinsky at my school the day I bought my ticket (of course they were there the day after…..) but that’s okay. I have been checking out the schedule for the Mariinsky Theatre too, it seems they have a showing of Eugine Onegin (spelling?) March 10th. I think it would be an awesome birthday gift to myself to go see it. I will see what money I have when the time comes. But I would like to plan on it.
I now sign off, leaving you with an even more ridiculous picture of my date:
Let us know how the date goes!!!! He looks like a fun guy (when in 3D)
Laura,
I have to tell you how much we’re enjoying being able to read about your adventures in Russia as they happen.
I think (hope?) that by the time you return you’ll be remembering all the good times and remembering the good of all the bad inconveniences!
I love ballet, so I’m looking forward to your report from the seeing the Nutcracker!
Last night your mom and dad hosted a cake and coffee for my birthday coming up this week. Aunt Jenny, Uncle bill and the kids came, as well as Uncle Dylan, Aunt Theresa and Rebekka and Andrew. We had a good visit…and yes, it was a good celebration of being 55 for a couple more days.
Love, Aunt Susi
