Mark has returned from his trip to Russia and says that it was the best vacation he has ever had. He also says that he liked Moscow best, because it truly felt Russian, whereas St. Petersburg has more of a European feel. And so the trip was a great success. The only negative note is that Mark did not bring back a Putin Bobblehead Doll for me. I had visions of him going into the back streets of Moscow, making contact with some anti-government shopkeeper, making the purchase, and then smuggling the doll through customs under the very noses of the KGB. Of course, under that scenario, if he got caught, Mark would still be in Russia now, a guest of the government. Of course, then I could simply write to the KGB (or whatever they call themselves these days) and have them send the Bobble-head along. No problem.
