Slide Show of EI Stoli Doli Party in January

In keeping with the tradition of Russian parties in Russia, the Stoli Doli party was the longest social that I remember. We stayed up almost until 2 am. The home atmosphere combined with libations of stoli doli and wine lead to opening the hearts and minds to each other followed by fun time that only happens, when you put together Russians and Americans in the same room.

Elza R. was the soul of the musical part of the party. She invented a new game. We, Russian women, were singing our popular songs from the Soviet era and Americans were supposed to guess what this song was about. There were a lot of guessing,  good humor and laughter.  Yet, the only answer was right when we sang a Russian love song. Another proof that love does not need translation and is understood in all the languages.
