"But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance."- St. Peter. "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come." - Jesus.

Paparazzi shots

So Saturday was 22C. We went to the circus in the morning as a family. It started an hour later than we thought it would. It was done by 2:20pm. We wanted to get to a Finno Ugric festival that started at 2pm. We jumped in the taxi straight after the circus and made it to the central library in just 10 minutes. Just as we were walking in the performances were finishing. But we were there for some food and met a few people. They were mostly Estonians truthfully, but it was still a nice thing to meet with them.

Melody took the kids home on the bus and I met with a friend in the city centre. We were going to sit down for a drink. But on such a nice warm day it just felt wrong to go inside. So we just walked, and like the water runs down hill, we too gravitated to the river. It felt so perfect to sit there in the sun and soak up the warmth, and to sit on some grass no less, despite the fact that it wasn't green yet.

Before meeting with my friend I decided to stick on the zoom lens and photograph some people. Melody commented, "are those your paparazzi shots?" I guess they are. I'm curious to know if people here look different to you as a non Russian?  Are my eyes completely used to Russian clothing now. I can still see a difference between a classic Russian style of dress and those that wish to be more western in their appearance. Leave your opinion in the comments.
