Hi Eric,

It's impressive! How do you manage them all?!

I'm back after three weeks in Moscow and just thought, maybe all my friends I visited and those visited me, they are all pen-pals? We keep in touch via email, mostly. I also regularly exchange "e-letters" with:

Sweden
UK
Ukraine
Latvia
USA (Triangle, NC; Boston, Washington, San Diego, NY, NY)

It is not so hard to keep up with everything, when you enjoy writing and receiving the letters! I am good at keeping track of who is who.

By the way, just now, I did a search on Google for "Bodbiskhevi", and this post in this forum was the #1 answer! So, your forum is now the most popular page in Google for the village! <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
