Back in the USSR
 
The second half of our program was a fascinating pictorial travel log into eastern Europe, Finland and Russia by boat and train, presented by Ute, Nick and Victoria, Nick’s wife Tammy also contributed in conveying the Russian experience.  Ute and Tammy learned you can never hang out in the drink car of a train while crossing the border into Russia, the officials are very scrupulous, close call ladies.  Tonight Victoria wore a  Golden Russian crown that made all of us other princesses in the audience jealous, she wore it well!  Last but not least, Russian Vodka was brought out to complete the true spirit and culture of the Russian people. Joe Muller won the prize for answering the Russian History lesson. He probable googled it!
