Big Greetings!

In the end of August, it was amazing to me to fly east on a plane from Moscow for 6 hours and not even make it halfway across the country. Russia is is sooooo big!

These are links to two small galleries from the trip to Novosibirsk and beyond, to the region surrounding Lake Baikal:

Today I flew from Paris to N’Djamena, Chad.   Now I’m at the hotel and have met some of the people I’ll spend time with here.  Will go down now to talk over beers. Wish me good luck!

Wishing you all the best, too!
