This is perhaps the most existential question of all time. In yesterday's post about Christmas, one of my readers commented that my audience is filled with nonbelievers. What does that say about me, or the content of my blog? I'm not sure. :) So, it's time to take a poll. Do you believe in God or some other deity? What is the foundation for your belief or disbelief? Maybe some of you are undecided? I know many Russians don't like to talk about personal details, but it's interesting to know more about the strangers around the globe who read me. Please answer to help me understand more about the demographics of my audience. If you want to know my views on this topic, simply click on the "religion" tag in my blog to see relevant stories, and my opinion will be easy to decipher. Thanks and a pleasant weekend to all!

While most humans run toward the sea and bright sun in the winter months, I chase the frost and freezing temperatures. There's no season I love more than winter. To step outside each morning and have my nostrils slightly burn from the cold, to breathe crisp air and feel the slight shudder of my body...in these moments I feel completely alive and human. What's more romantic than sitting by a cozy fire in a secluded log cabin, with ice-covered branches and the forest as your only companions? For me, almost nothing. I've never craved sunshine or bright light, even as a child. Perhaps I'm secretly a vampire. :)

Each winter, I take a big trip to celebrate my birthday in February. The past three years I've had great journeys in Russia, but now my three-year tourist visa is expired and I don't wish to go through the hassle or cost to renew it. It's time to explore another winter wonderland this February, but where?help me decide! )

Last night I began going through photos from my trip. In general, highly disappointing because many of them were taken from the window of a large bus and while in motion. However, I will share my impressions from the region in various posts, but don't know where to begin. Which topic do you want to read about first? It's important that there is reader interest in my impressions because processing photos and writing text takes a lot of time and effort. Vote below please, if you are not all on holiday. :)

Some type of intense restlessness has recently set in. I don't know the root of the problem. Probably because I haven't traveled abroad since my trip to Russia, five months ago. This is too long for me. Summer is difficult for travel because of huge tourist crowds, my intolerance for heat, and packed flights which make standby travel very risky. This was apparent a few weeks ago when I flew to Vermont for a short getaway and got stuck on the return because flights were full. I finally made it home to DC on the last flight of the day, which departed around 10 p.m.

I originally thought about going to Toronto for a long weekend, but now I'm considering a four or five day trip to Wyoming. I've traveled many times to the Western part of the U.S. but never to the "Wild West." Strong desire to see this region, with its beautiful mountain landscapes, ranches and wide-open roads. In early autumn, I'll travel overseas for a few weeks but the destination points are yet to be determined. So tell me - where should I go at the end of July or beginning of August? Which reports will be more interesting for you - Toronto or Wyoming? Vote below and you can help determine my destination! I'll leave open until Friday.
