Families once gathered on the shore of the Rybinsk reservoir to celebrate the New Year. Climbed away from habitable places. Wanted romance...

Incredible beauty of nature. Gorgeous weather. Soft drifts. Huge snowflakes slowly, with dignity, majestically descending on the snow-covered ground.

The old tourist base, dating back to Soviet times, amazed with its "livability" - plywood houses with an individual stove, outdoor amenities, water in the well. But the main advantage is a large Russian bath!

More than twenty people gathered in the waiting room. All fit in. They celebrated cheerfully and merrily. And the wig was awesome. It so happened that my wife and I were left alone in it, at the same time we took a steam bath ...

And in the morning it was an incredibly difficult climb and the way back. The surprise came in the form of a traffic police officer at a stationary post waving a stick. It turned out that he wanted to check for alcohol instead of congratulations. An old Soviet glass analyzer would turn green from ordinary air. I had to insist on a second test in the hospital. For two hours of waiting for a patrol car, more than ten vehicles drove up, from which the natives fell out, staggering and braiding their legs, approached the law enforcement officers, piled on with hugs and kisses, loudly screaming with joy ...

Feeling sad. Especially from the lack of apologies after a negative test in the hospital, understanding, moreover, that before going home, sawing and sawing.

I was stopped 43 (forty-three) times during the year for alcohol testing. As the saying goes: "As you celebrate the New Year, so you will spend it" !!!

PS: and after the allotted time, a Daughter was born!
