Welcome to Kemerovo


Gabriel presents to the artists at the Kemerovo Museum of Fine Art

We had a very uneventful - rather relaxing trip from St. Petersburg to Kemerovo. We were worried about the antiquated baggage system - no more than 20 kilos per bag and the idea of rechecking and going through the baggage-weighing process all over again in Moscow. My bag was small but heavy and Gabriel's bag was big and looked heavy. None of that happened. We arrive after 5am to 30 degrees F. Spring has not arrived here yet. We were escorted to our apartment for some sleep before our presentations later in the day.
