Welcome!

On September 30, 2007, after much planning and help from our friends & family, we tied the knot in Traverse City, Michigan! (Fig. 1) So now we'll use this blog (set up for wedding planning) to chronicle our continuing adventures in Berkeley and beyond.

In the land of Gogol, zakusky, snow, and Lenin!


Dobre dzehn! Over the winter break, we embarked on a fabulous multi-purpose trip: Colette & I celebrated her graduation to professorship with a week exploring St. Petersburg & the Golden Ring, then Dave met us in Moscow and we all celebrated my 30th birthday, then Dave & I headed back west overland via Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and Berlin on our "maxi-moon" adventure. We're just not the Caribbean honeymoon types!

The first photo shows the three of us cheerfully touristing around the Red Square (before we got hassled by the police over our dokumenty). The second photo is the evening of my birthday, toasting 30 with Baltika beer on the night train to Riga, Latvia. More fun photos of our trip through Russia and the Baltics are at http://picasaweb.google.com/julianefry/SelectedRussiaBalticsPhotos.


Happy New Year!
