Summer in Russia
Three weeks in July in Russia.
I hadn’t been to my hometown in almost 4 years. Time with family and meeting friends brought a lot of warmth and joy. I managed to catch up with many people, though everyone’s grown up and busy now.
Tomsk left a refreshing sense of concise beauty. Despite everything, it’s still diverse, youthful, and vibrant. Compact enough for car-free walks, green, and sunny. To me, it’s the best city in Russia.
The forest, the river, fishing, the sauna, berries and vegetables from the garden... Three weeks in the village flew by like a weekend.
