Our trip to St.Petersburg/Russia

Hi! Just a few lines to go with the photos here:

Early June we (Kaarle Mannila, interpreter Rita Vinnichuk and my husband Benni) headed towards northwest Russia again, that is, St.Petersburg region. This time the concerts to be held in drug rehab centers. We did 4 gigs with wonderful reception, communed with old and new friends and saw some of the beautiful countryside around St.Petersburg – it was the first warm week of the summer; actually the weather was hot (especially for our Nordic thermal tastes :). The organizers and co-workers took great care of us once again, drove us to places, made sure we sounded alright Ü and many many other things. Thank you – all of you!    – Nina
