Before the party started, Boris and Ludmila opened a can of fine Russian caviar to share. What a delectable honor!

Down the hatch!
Before guests started arriving, I set my camera on a tripod with a timer set to take a photo once every 12 minutes. I have culled many out, but this series will give you a sense of the building of the mood as guests arrive. If you aren't into in that, feel free to go fast, or to skip to photo number 24.
If you look closely out the window (where Dr. and Mrs. Cure are looking on the far end of the room), you can see that we had a nice sunset that evening.
Not sure the what gave me that goofy-looking expression. Also, not sure what I got my sleeve wet with. Oh well! At least I'm sure there was good food on my plate.
Now we're getting down to business with the singing bowls. They were indeed a hit that night!
1 minute 44 seconds of video, gives a feel for the party. To play it, click on the triangle in the center of the above photo. The video will open and start buffering in a new window. Depending on your internet speed, you may want to click on the PAUSE button for a while. If you decide that it's taking too long to load, click on the ipod/DVD button or Web button (above the video window). That will re-size it to a smaller window, but will download MUCH more quickly. I think that even very slow connections should not have trouble with the Web setting (but the picture will be very small).
Careful with that arm, Ron! We all know what kind of a weapon it is!
Olga wanted to make sure I got a shot of the feet that are never covered.
Same instructions as with the last video. This one is a bit longer (nearly 4 minutes), so will take longer to buffer. Here, Boris experiences his first Saipan hot pepper!
