William is home, safe and sound – after a rather arduous trip across the pond. They took off from Dulles on time and got as far as Nova Scotia before having to turn around due to a fuel problem. I’ll skip all the gory details but the next several hours were not fun; however, once he got to Moscow his trip from Domededovo airport to our apartment was unbelievable. He tells me that his cabbie was the dumbest guy he’s ever met in his life … traffic was unbelievable and it took 3 hours to get here. He called me from a street that is a 10-minute walk from here and it was still another half hour to get through the traffic in a car! Yikes.
It seemed like Christmas when he unpacked – more bottles of booze than I could count (or so it seemed – I really can count that high in more than one language), and key rings and office supplies and scissors and all sorts of things that we needed. The best part was the rosin for my viola bow – our only mishap during the move was that my rosin melted in the heat somewhere along the way and was a crumpled mess. I’m playing duets with a friend on Thursday so the timing is good.
Nothing else to report but Wm wanted you to have SOMETHING from us today. Ciao for now – Cindy and Wm
