Ha-ha! Today Mommy still was angry at Nikita. But then we began a reconciliation procedure. Everybody hoped to find a compromiss in our relations.



And something good came in the beginning.



Nikita was even friendly at first sight. So pretty doggy! 



But not for long! 



So at least the beginning was good! And I know nevertheless we will find a common language with this sometimes obstinate dog. 



Our journey goes on!
Bye!

Good day! I cotinue to tell about our time in Vologda, one of the region's cetres of the north-west of Russia.
In this arrival we noticed, that many flower-beds appeared over the city. Later we knew - it was something like a flashmob for planting flowers in Vologda. Great thing, I think!



Funny comercial with sushi-cats. 



The State University. The main building.



Kirovskii Park.



At this year there are many ashberries on trees. I heard, that it means that winter will be cold.



The Officer's House, where civilian registry office is situated.



Me and a birch. 







Theatre of puppets.





This sculpture of peeing dog is a part of a big monument to the first electric street lamp in the city. Funny!





Vologda river. Became shallow last years.



Bell tower in the distance. And Sophia's Cathedral.





As always our journey goes on!
Bye!

Hi! This evening Mum's friend was invited to take photos of the opening of a new shopping mall. And we went with her too. 

Most of all I liked this camomile fountain! Nice. 



Flowers were averywhere!



Then we went to the playing hall. So many attractions and playing machines were here!  And lots of crazy children too! 





After all we went to one very nice cafe, with benevolent waitresses, taste nachos and unusual Pepsi-cola.





Then I met very golden lady.  But she was not so talkative, as golden. 



One more photo with camomile fountain. I really liked it!



Our journey goes on!
Bye!

Hello! We went to pick mushrooms. This is my first founded mushroom ever!







My favourite shot. 



Our journey goes on!
Bye!

Our vacation in Vologda is nearing its end.  It is time to come back to Kiev. On the one hand we miss it, but on the other - we don't want to leave home city and all friends. It's a pity, that they all can't be in a one place. Maybe in the future,.. maybe not. The last moments of our walks here.

Maternity hospital, where Mommy was born. A little homely, but you can't choose where to be born - she said. 









Monument to cosmonaut Belyaev, he was born in our region. He flew to space with Alexey Leonov in 1965.





Government building.



So our journey goes on! We are going back to Ukraine.
Bye!

Good day! I'm in Kiyev again. Summer is over and it is cold a little. Today we were at home and decided to make something interesting. So we took our big box with tools for handmade from the shell and began to create! 
What is the result of our pains? I'll show:



We made cake bracelet and earrings for a gift. 

Cakes were almost as real. I even tried them, while Mommy wasn't looking. 



Bracelet is a little big for me, but I can wear it as a necklace.  Cake necklace! Mmmmm.. my dream!





Our journey goes on!
Bye!

Helloooo! It's me as usual. Today my friends, Mommy and I cooked a pilaw. I like pilaw, because it's very substantial and just a tasty dish. In general I think all dishes are tasty at any time and any mood. And even if I feel not very well or sad, I always like to eat something and life becomes better. Because when my tummy is full, it is happy and I'm happy with it too! It says me something like: "That's the stuff, mate!" But Mommy usually says "silly-billy" and laughes at me for some reason.
Oh! I forgot to tell about my new friend - little mouse Myshonok. He came with us from Vologda to see some new places and to stay with us for some time. His Mom is a good friend of mine. I'm happy, more friends it's great! And I have no time to be bored.



At first we roasted a chiken meat with onion and spicery, such as turmeric, on a pan. I like turmeric, it smells very good and gives a great colour to the meat and then to all pilaw on the whole. A cross between yellow, gold and orange.



Then we (mainly Mommy) grated a carrot. I like carrots. It's food, food is good!



And when meat was ready, we put all of this to the pan - at first meat, then rice, carrot, more spicery and water. Usually Mommy use a cast-iron cauldron with heavy sides. But at this time it was just a pan.



While we were waiting for our pilaw, we watched cartoons about Donald Duck. I like him, in spite of the fact that I can't understand not a single word that he quacks. 



When everything was ready, I was maybe one of the happiest bears in our kitchen! Pilaw was the first-rate!



After dinner we went to the exhibition centre. In usual time it's a big area for cyclists, rollers, skaters and those who ate a hearty dinner and want just to walk around. We were the last ones.







Then we even went to the race track. It is situated not far. But in that day horse races were over. And we just saw an empty, but interesting too, race ways and a few horses in a distance.





We decided to come here other day, when races will be.

So our journey goes on!
Bye! Have a good day!

Hi! This day we made cookies! Yumm-yumm-yumm-yummy!  It was the first time, when we tried to cook something like that. But it was interesting and I like our results. They are very tasty results, as for me. 



My friend mouse and me help Momm all the time.



We haven't chocolate chips and decided to use common chocolate. I think it is not worse.



Certainly at first I tried chocolate and made an examination. It was great






I was looking foward, when cookies will be ready. That what we should get in the end.







Time to take cookies from an oven.



Tadaaaaaaam!



Cookies were sooo aromatic!



We ate it with cocoa. Mmmmm! 



I was the happiest bear in our kitchen again!

Hi! Today we walked to the Holoseevskii Park. It's very big park near our house. And we always wanted to travel over it. Especially it is beautiful in autumn. It was a real trip with forest, lakes, mushrooms and hot tea with sandwiches. I liked it!





We met a little pony's farm. Ponies were so cute!





Lakes in the Park. Trees were reflected in water and it was beautiful!



Me and my friend Mouse.







I love golden autumn!





We found some burrows. I don't know whose they are...







Giant-oak!



I even found one mushroom, but I think it was not eatable.



The most pleasant part of our triiiiip!!! Mmmmmm, hot tea  And delicious sandwiches with cheese!

Hello! Today we received a big (as for me) package! It was a present package to Mommy's birthday from her friend Yulia from St.Petersburg. Actually it wasn't a present - they arranged about swapping with some random pleasant trifles, because they miss each other and haven't seen each other for ages. And it was a coincidence, that package arrived just a few days before Mom's birthday.

So this is me and Mouse, waiting for the opening.  I hoped to find a lot of honey there! Or jam... Or honey and jam together! Cause these are the most pleasant things for me.



But at first we found there so nice postcards, that I forgot about honey and jam... for a several minutes.



Then we got an eyeglass case. It was very orange... But there wasn't honey in it. Just nice felt flower.



Ooooh! Then we saw so many little animals. They were very noisy and all the time strove to scatter!



Next was turn of a big black box. We were so curious to open it!



There we found a letter, toys and CANDIES!!!  It was even better, than jam. Not better than honey, of course, but Mommy promised me, that we'll go to the market on weekend to buy some real honey and it will be all for meeeee!





The last little roll was with...



...napkins for glasses. I have no glasses, but napkins were really good as roman clothes for me and Mouse. 



That's all. I really liked to receive packages! It is very cheerfull! And if someone else sends us a parsel, I have nothing against it. 

Hi! I havent been here for a long time. But there were so many events and we didn't have time to post new photos in my travelog. But we have a lot of them! So today I tell you about Mommy's birthday. It was very saturated day. Mommy was so happy, I know.

This day we saw a big national stadium. It is not ready now, but works are in full swing, because Kiev will be one of the UEFA EURO 2012 cities. It will be a big event, I guess.



The underground station entrance near the stadium.



After our walk we went to one great place!  It was a big sweet shop with a cafe. We were tired a little and hungry. That's why it was a big pleasure to sit on cozy chairs in a warm and aromatic cafe and choose whatever your heart and stomach desired!  And my heart and stomach were really happy!!!





Then we went to the President house. And on our way we met this nice dachshund. He looked like my friend Nikita, but he was iron and not so jumping up. 



This is the place where Ukrainian Mister President lives. Nice house, a little big for me, but nice. On the other hand, I think, there are many rooms there, and small pantries with honey and sweets too! 



House with chimeras is not far.



In the evening when we came home, it was a little birthday party with flowers, great cake and candles and presents. It was cool! The roses on a cake weren't real but very tasty.

And those were very real! Mommy was so glad and smiled all the time!



Our journey goes on!
Bye-bye!

Good day! Today we saw the National Stadium again. Construction goes at top speed! Hope it will be a great stadium in the end. 





When we came home, very big and strange package was there... Anyone had no idea, what was that. But someone was inside! He talked something about space and some evil empire.



We opened a cover we saw something like a spaceship.



It was some dude named Buzz Lightyear. Very strange Mommy's dream. Hope now we will watch ToyStory movie rarely a little. I like toys movies, but in the last bear was a bad hero and I can't agree with this version. 







It turned out, that Buzz is very nice in real, always with a smile and always ready to save the Universe. But slightly garrulous. Frankly speaking - a lot!  Even sitting in the box!



But after all we found common language and it was fun! 





And I think we will become friends.



Our journey goes on!
Bye-bye!

Hi, guys! We are in Crimea again. 
Today we visited our relatives at their farm. They have a big farm and a lot of animals. I didn't saw all of them, because cows, for example, were on a pasture. But I have what to show. 

There are many cats here. 8 or 10 maybe, I don't know exactly. This is one of them. Marusik. He was sleeping in a cow-shed. It's one of his favourite sleep places.





So nice company! 



Very big pigs.



Mukhtar. He was very friendly with us!



The place where all cows from village grazed this day.



After luch we decided to visit the local stud-farm and to ride a little.



This horse was so nice. And she liked very much oaten cookies that we brougth.





While Mommy was riding, I met a herd of sheeps.



That was my day at the farm. I was there for the first time and I liked all animals very much! 

Our journey goes on!
Bye!

Hello-hello! Did you miss me? I did!
Tell you a little what we did this day. We went to Simferopol (the capital of Crimea). It was in the morning and we decided to have breakfast in some cafe. This one called "4 Rooms", as one of our favourite movies. Nice place and tasty food.







We odered vareniks with cherries and sour cream. Mom likes this meal since she was a kid. And eats it in every good opportunity. I had nothing against of this tasty tradition. 



After breakfast we went for a walk over the city. This is the Drama Theatre.



This day was very sunny and the sky was clear.



Guess, where is this door to? 



Dental clinic.  We always liked this wooden figures on it's main door. As if they say - it is a serious place. 

Our journey goes on!
Bye!

Hi, guys! This day we visited the Swallow's nest castle, that built on a top of a 40-meter cliff. We have never been here yet and it was one of our 'what else to see in Crimea' objects.

We went here by bus from Simferopol to Yalta and then by another one little bus to Gaspra. On our way we saw the Demerdji mountain as always. Several times we were on its top. But not this time.





Clouds are very low here. Because they are mountain clouds, I think. And they have different habits not like usual clouds have. 



The Swallow's nest castle finally!



Some trees are green here, even in winter!



Me on the sea-front. It was very windy and I feared to be carried away to the sea. 



Me and Mouse.



The Black Sea was so beautiful. What a colour! Maybe because it rests from people in winter and appears in all its beauty. 





You can see a little bird on the top of a cliff, over my head. It's not a real bird, just a sculpture. An eagle. And this cliff's name is Sail-rock (or Parus in Russian).



Souvenirs.



I love the Black Sea very much in any season! 



On the edge of abyss! 





Castle's walls. In summer there are sooo many people here, but this day - we were alone. And if to be honest it was fantastic! 



We saw a little puppy on the berth. Maybe it is hard to see him on the photo.. but he is standing near jaggies. He was barking at the sea and waves. Little silly guy! 











Resting in the sun. 





Then we went to Yalta. But I'll tell you about it another time. 
Our journey goes on!
Good bye!
