I'm stuck inside still because of the rain which starts me thinking. Not usually a good idea.
Aki and I looked at the Russian border and turned away again (as intended). I have no visa. I find myself wondering about this huge country I know so little about. What do I know? Cold war stuff? President Putin? Outside of the current western financial meltdown, a member of the BRIC economies? What do I know of her people and culture? I am ashamed to say little. Stories of corruption a crime. True? Hard to travel for a lone motorcyclist? I also hear stories of a warm and friendly people, hospitable and helpful. I also hear that the girls are the prettiest in the world.
Is there a future trip for Elsa and I? Are we going to Russia one day? I wish I knew more.
