May 9, 2010 | Off Dirty Harry's Balcony
Today is Victory Day in Russia, celebrating victory in World War II. Germany signed the surrender papers late on May 8th, but in Moscow it was already May 9th, hence the confusion.
Coincidentally, today was also Sunday, so we went on a hike. It was short, to start the season... actually it didn't start the season, but we haven't gone on a hike since then and weren't in the mood for a longer hike. Besides, this Winter's snow fell early May, so one can argue that the earlier hike was actually last season, and this one in fact started the season... whatever. We went to Dirty Harry's Balcony and were treated to a view of the I-90 corridor.
coincidentally, today was also Mother's Day. For most countries anyway.
