Eastern European Living: August 2009
http://moatesinmoscow.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 11, 2009. 9 nights in Ireland. I know that we are extremely behind on our blogging - mostly my fault as I'm the one not working these days! We have been busy this summer and wanted to update our latest trip to Ireland. It was a fabulous trip and here are a few shots (down significantly from the 500 pictures taken! And a quick itinerary of where we went - basically all around the country! My grandfather and our hosts, Michael and Ashling, are from Cork! Along the Ring of Kerry. In Galway, ...

Eastern European Living: May 2008
http://moatesinmoscow.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 29, 2008. On Thursday morning we hopped on the train to. Which is mid-way between. We weren’t originally planning on stopping here, so we didn’t have anything planned except for a last-minute hotel we booked. We walked through town, ate a great lunch, and decided that we must go back and do. Properly – ie get a guided tour through the city. St Stephen's Cathedral in the Stephanplatz. Flower Market (these are all over Europe, including Moscow, and they are just so beautiful! Walking there we...

Eastern European Living: Claire and Jeff visit the Motherland
http://moatesinmoscow.blogspot.com/2009/02/claire-and-jeff-visit-motherland.html
Sunday, February 1, 2009. Claire and Jeff visit the Motherland. Claire and Jeff came to visit us on a last minute trip - and were even able to get visas in a 24 hour period! We have never heard of that in our entire stay over here - must have something to do with the Swiss. They chose the coldest weekend we have experienced in our 2 winters - it never got above 20 degrees F and hovered around 0-10 most of the time! But, they got a beautifully sunny weekend and to experience true Russia!

Eastern European Living: June 2008
http://moatesinmoscow.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 30, 2008. London with the Guckian's and McInnis'. Look kids, Big Ben, Parliament.". We flew into London on Wednesday evening, and after about 20 minutes of being on the ground in the UK, I had determined that I could definitely live there, and that life has to be so much easier there than Russia! It was confirmed when the high-speed train we took from Heathrow to Paddington station was 1) actually high-speed (about 15 minutes to town! Oh well - you live and learn. We walked from there to Wes...

Eastern European Living: August 2008
http://moatesinmoscow.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 30, 2008. So, who knew that there was softball in Moscow? A few weeks ago, Cameron got the "call up" to come play softball with a colleague and his team. It was a fabulous sunny day in August, so I went out the "softball field" with him. The "softball field" was actually a dry lake bed, but we had a good time anyhow. I enjoyed the sun and actually running into a few friends, and Cameron enjoyed actually playing softball! Friday, August 15, 2008. 5 years down and countless more to go.

Eastern European Living: AWO Party at the Spaso House
http://moatesinmoscow.blogspot.com/2008/12/awo-party-at-spaso-house.html
Thursday, December 11, 2008. AWO Party at the Spaso House. Each year after our annual craft fair, which I think really should be called an art fair - it's more artisans and such selling their goods, the AWO (American Women's Org.) has a party at the Spaso House, the residence of the US ambassador. We thank our contributors and have a reason to get dressed up and have some wine! We had a great time this year and followed it up with dinner with a group of our friends. Me, Meghna, Amber, and Carrie.

Eastern European Living: Thanksgiving in Moscow
http://moatesinmoscow.blogspot.com/2008/12/blog-post.html
Monday, December 8, 2008. Last year I got no Thanksgivings, so it only makes sense that this year I should have two! They had a Thanksgiving menu which included Turkey, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie! My group dwindled down to 5 of us the evening of the event, and was very international – including a Northern Irish, Canadian, Mexican, and only 2 Americans! Even though they ended up running out of pie and didn’t bring our turkey for an hour after our soup, we had a fabulous time. Lindsey, Amber, and I.

Eastern European Living: Home for the Holidays!
http://moatesinmoscow.blogspot.com/2009/02/home-for-holidays.html
Saturday, January 31, 2009. Home for the Holidays! We had a wonderful time at home for the holidays this winter. We were even able to spend an extra few weeks there due to Cameron's visa issues! We were continually busy while we were home and loved catching up with friends and family. My parents' 40th wedding anniversary was this past August. So, we threw them a big party in December when I made it home! Karen and Dennis, August 24, 1968. What fun - even in the freezing cold! Tea with the Healy Girls.
