Total Solar Eclipse 2008 - Russia

Great news, Dave, congradulations!

We got our visa-armed passports the other day at the gathering at Nikos Tremoulis's place.
Ours have an english translation, too.
They say:
"... blah, blah, blah,...
Foreigners with this visa are welcome in Russian Federation, unless they have HIV, malaria, blah, blah, bla, ... , or urchin spines in their body or have recently been bitten by malicious insects and their foot remained swollen for more than 3 days."

Welcome to Russia!

My visa will be ready for pick-up on Monday!

T - 14 days!

Athens, Greece.

I have something in the works for this evening surrounding the full moon and some stunning archaeological grounds.

I hope and trust you will approve of the result.

And where will you stay in Novosibirsk?

And where will you stay in Novosibirsk?

Dear friend,

I think you are spamming ... and as to where I am staying is a personal matter and of no business of yours!

Clear skies!

Hi Markovich,
I'm going to assume you are genuine, everyone here already has accommodation sorted, thanks for asking.

BTW, nice pic of the Moon Vagelis.
I had visions of the visa been refused for one reason or another, I'm relieved it came through.
