Departure tomorrow, entries will pause

Dear Blog Readers,
I'm leaving tomorrow for a short trip to the ancient cities of
Rostov Veliki, Kostroma, and Ples--a favorite spot of the
painter Levitan and others. I don't know what I'll find there
in the way Internet connections, so I plan to pause my blog
entries for these days -- unless to my suprise, an Internet turns up.
If so, the entries would be very short. I'll be
taking notes for future entries. But I'll be back in Moscow
on October 9 and will start up again. I've got lots of untouched
material. Hope you like today's two postings.
Poka ( later), Byron
