Dear friend, I was incredibly happy to receive your wonderful postcard; today I found as many as 73 of them in my mailbox) The Russian Post has finally started working again) I’m over the moon! We’re having a golden autumn here; I’m walking in the park, and the leaves are rustling under my feet. Yesterday I went to the mountains, to the town of Goryachiy Klyuch, and I rode the cable car and the Ferris wheel; from there, you can see a wonderful view of the whole city. I had lunch at the Old Castle restaurant; they’re already fully preparing for Halloween in the Harry Potter style — there’s an exhibition of 30 magic wands on the wall. I wish the rains would last longer; I don’t like cold and slush. I wish you a warm and cozy autumn with the people you love.
