Mirror Reflections – Nicaragua & Russia

May 13, 2014

Life in Nicaragua I am a big fat liar.  Really, I am.  Yesterday, I re-read the “About the Ex-Pats” page of the blog and I laughed out loud and thought, “what a crock of shit.”  The honest-to-God-truth is that I didn’t love anything about this country during our first visit here, which ironically was two … More Mirror Reflections – Nicaragua & Russia

Notice: How to navigate “Life in Russia”

Recently I decided it was time to make it easier to navigate "Life in Russia". When you enter any page on my blog (listed above) you will have the ability to find all the posts related to this page at the bottom of each section. Currently all the Fairy Tales are referenced on their page and well as Proverbs, Sayings, and idioms. The others are still under construction but hopefully ready soon. Thanks for your patience as I continue to improve the way you can access posts.
