During the weekend of March 14th-15th, 2020, Melody grabbed a breakfast sandwich with her host mom and went geocaching for the very first time! She had a really nice time!
Ivan and Masha arrived in Gatineau at the beginning of July 2020, during the COVID-19. Since the host prefers to avoid taking the bus because of the pandemic, and sometimes, walking takes too long, one of the first outings that she took Masha and Ivan on was to Canadian Tire, to buy herself a bike. The host had not riden a bike for almost 25 years, so she was a little bit afraid that she wouldn't be able to anymore, but she was wrong to worry. It looks like riding a bike really is something that one always remembers how to do! A nice view of Gatineau and downtown Ottawa: The host's brand new bike: The host also took the newlyweds to Domaine Fairview, a large park (that used to be a private domain, and then an experimental farm) near her home.

I once again received a wonderful email chock-full of interesting information, links and photos from Anastasia about how she, accompanied by Pinky, celebrated the New Year! Here it is : "Hi! Most of the photos in this story will be blurry because it was quite difficult to take pictures in the dark, hope you'll understand it... Right now Pinky and I are drinking a home-made latte and thinking about the fun we had yesterday! But first, let me tell you about the greatest event in Russia which unfortunately my family celebrates less and less thought the years - New Year, or Novy God (Новый Год). Why New Year, you ask, why not Christmas? Well, Christmas is a religious holiday and in the Soviet Union religion was banned so Christmas became illegal.
