Wine
Ryan and I went to Abrau-Dyurso for their Wine Festival. Earlier in the week, Kevin, the team's project manager mentioned the event to Ryan. The three of us spent almost 3 hours talking and sampling various wines from around the area. Champagne was also available, which I did more champagne tasting than wine. Cognac vendors were also present. Ryan and Kevin sampled various cognacs, but after one sip, I passed on the rest. It was a fun event for a Saturday afternoon and we came home with a couple wine glass souvenirs.

Ballet
A few weeks ago, we received an email announcing that a ballet troupe from Moscow would be traveling to Novorossiysk. The performance would be Sleeping Beauty. I confirmed Ryan would be in town and went to buy the tickets. At the time, I thought, "we have nothing else to do on a Saturday." After our wine tasting, we came home, ate a quick meal, changed and we were off to the ballet. It was something different and a nice way to get out of the house. When we arrived, we realized that a couple other people from the team were also there. If we are living in Russia, I find it only appropriate that we attend at least one ballet performance. I am wondering if they will perform the Nutcracker near the holidays?
