Roma's 20

Sunday September 9th was Roma's 20th birthday- and the city's 125th.

We had a crowd for dinner, then they went into the city to see the concert and fireworks that accompany any celebratory occasion here-
Roma and his girlfriend Alissa arrived after everyone else had left, so we had them all to ourselves!
We couldn't have arranged the timing better.

Now that Rome's 20 he has to apply for a new passport- all Russians over the age of 14 have a domestic passport that acts as an identity document- they need a passport to et a job, pick up a parcel from the post office, or to make a large purchase.
