Aurora’s Journal

I must make some historical explanations to my foreign friends. In 1918 Russia has switched from Julian to modern Gregorian calendar. Since then, there is a good tradition to celebrate New Year once more, after 13-day shift. This is called Old New Year. So – happy Old New Year my friends!
Russian analogue of Santa Claus is Father Frost. He owns no deers, but he has a granddaughter whose name is Snegurochka (Snow Maiden). She is young, beautiful and dressed all in blue. She helps her granddaddy to dispense their gifts amongst children and takes a serious part in New Year celebration. Just like me in the following photos!

Our stunning guests!

The center of Agia Napa is the inoperative monastery. All the central streets are starting over here, all the bus routes are starting over here, and whole night life is starting over here. But in the morning it’s surprisingly quiet and peaceful like gentle lace. A lovely place for a slow stroll and listening to birds…

Since the most intensive part of the sun spectrum is laying in the greenish-blue area, I was using this skinsuit as sunscreen – and my sunbathing was safe and pleasant.

So, despite I know that zentai pool photos are commonplace, I found the combination of skinsuit and water colors so amazing, so I could not resist to make a couple pictures!

The most popular subject for calendars, postcards and other souvenirs from Cyprus is “Cats of Cyprus”. The island is a real home for thousands of different kitties! I decided to support this tradition, so catch a couple souvenirs from me!

Unfinished palace of Catherine the Great. The estate was originally known as Chornaya Gryaz (Black Dirts), the first record of this site was found dated 1633. After the Empress purchased it, the place was renamed to Tsaritsyno (Empress’ Village) and the luxurious ensemble was built on top of a hill surrounded with cascade of pictorial ponds. The former hunters’ village became one of residences for Catherine the Great.
The Tsaritsyno Museum was founded in 1984 and in 1994 it’s been officially opened. In 2004-2007 the park and the architectural ensemble underwent total restoration, so now it pleases the walkers with views the Empress originally had in mind.

No more exams! I’m totally free for the rest of the summer! I can do whatever I want, for example, take a walk on the fresh air with my friend Chromakey.

Sitting, chatting, popping bubbles.

What can be better on a sunny Sunday than spending time in Luna Park with good friends!
Me, Riane and Chromakey.

That’s the way I will look when I get very old.
