Maybe it affects the Russian character.<br /><br />The summer in former part of Finland is beautiful.<br /><br />Thanks.<br /><br />RobRob MacDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17050545070418063352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030144909492747445.post-12753924266167262982011-12-24T23:09:32.052+04:002011-12-24T23:09:32.052+04:00Your post takes me back four years ago, when I spe...Your post takes me back four years ago, when I spent from Dec. 22nd to Jan. 16th in the city of Petrozavodsk, Karelia, adopting my daughter (her detsky dom was in Segezha, even further north, not far from the Arctic Circle). Very little light at all in December, and only a few hours of daylight each day once the New Year arrived. Thank goodness I'm a homebody and didn't mind staying in and reading, cooking and watching TV. I would love to go back to visit someday, in late spring or summer, when it's easier to be outdoors.Lori (Nashville, TN)noreply@blogger.com
