The other day I visited my friend Daniel's favorite store "Bed, Bath&Beyond" where they sell everything for housekeeping. Great store. Reminded me of IKEA or OBI that we have in Moscow.
What a pity, that the maximum weight I can take back to Russia is 50kg...Otherwise, I could have bought a lot more stuff and then totally refurnish my Moscow apt...
The only "but"...Almost everything in this place is from China...
...aren't we?
Sunday...I was supposed to work from 12PM, but I decided that I would rather spend some more time with Daniel than go to the gift-shop. Job will wait...
So we went biking to the Hanging Lake. It was cool and much more fun than when I did that just by myself.
The weather was perfect as well...Not too hot...I still got sunburnt anyway...
Me and my imagination...or me and my reflexion??
Some nice views on our way
After some good biking we decided to get lunch in one of the Mexican restaurants. Mexican food turned out to be much tastier, than I thought of it. Not very spicy after all. However...they forgot to bring us forks and spoons, that was really stupid...
Huge lunch made me feel so lazy and sleepy that I didn't want to go to job at all. But as I was the only person closing today, I kinda had no choice. Otherwise, we could definitely do something else. When I finally came to gift-shop, it was already 4PM. I was 4 hours late.
And then...however, that's absolutely different story...
Oh... by the way, I like all different kinds of caps and hats. And when I saw this ridiculous yellow helmet, I couldn't, but pose for a picture in it.
So today me and Daniel were planning to visit the small jazz-concert in the downtown, but then plans changed a little, and we first went to a bar to get some desert. This bar is actually located in a very neat place - the Colorado Hotel (the concert was taking place at that hotel as well). One of the very few places in Glenwood where high-quality people hang out.
It is actually a place with an interesting history. Like, for example, Theodor Roosevelt stayed there for a while, and they also have a penthouse upstairs which used to belong to one of the ladies who was a passenger on "Titanic" ship.
Well...the bar was great, the cakes amd ice-cream were tasty, and I met several Russians+Ukranians working there as well. I actually met a nice girl Lusia, she is from Sudak, Ukraine, and what a nice surprise!... (how actually small is our world) - she knows two of my friends (Zhenya and Sasha Kulaga) who know live in Moscow, but originally are from Simferopol' area.
So we talked with her for a while, and it's just cool to meet someone who speaks Russian as well, because then they do some nice stuff for you. Like today she brought some free fresh juice for me and Daniel, and then as we were leaving, we actually forgot our half-full bottle of wine, so we came back 5 minutes later, but the bottle was already taken from our table, and I asked Lusia what could be done about that, and she brought us absolutely new bottle of wine and charged nothing for that. So these "quick acquaintances" might be really useful right away.
Then we moved straight to the jazz-concert which was like 2 rooms from the bar. Actually it was already ending, but we still got the opportunity to listen to 3 very beautiful songs. It's not that I am much of a jazz-fan (Daniel actually likes it much more), but still it was such a relaxation and fun. I think it was my first time on a live jazz-performance.And it really was impressive.
Erin (the singer) and her team really did a very good job.
And in the very end we even bought a CD from her, and moreover, got an autograph on it.
Great Day! 4 hours of work. Then some preparation for party. And then party. With people I feel so great about.
I can't even express how great it is to spend time with Daniel and my other friends.
Happy Birthday, Katyusha!
The whole party.
