Petra ! Alles war gut ! Danke shon!

Thank you so much for the report Petra.It is sad that Max was not there but under the circumstances is something that we could expect from now on.He might not be able to attend every show in the Ice Age project but it doesn't mean we won't see him again. So cheer up . As for Albie i am sure the performance was O.K. considering they did not have enough time .

I'll be waiting impatiently for your pictures.

Thank you so much for the report and explanations, Petra. What you wrote comes from the heart, and you are much appreciated for your kindness in keeping us informed.

I can't stop thinking of the interviews I've read, when Albena and Maxim talk about arising around 4:30 on mornings when they are in training; how they don't eat dinner if they have gained weight, how they try to be more creative because they are from a small country (their creativity is amazing); and how they train so many hours every day in preparation for competitions. I keep hoping and praying this discipline and hard work will come to bear when it is most needed.

I believe Viktoria is correct: we will see Albena and Maxim perform together again. And we'll be ever more delighted when we do.

Here some pictures from Albena and Alexey performances /from far away/

Thank you, Viktoria. When one cares and worries about good people, every little ray of sunshine helps.

Thanks,Viktoria!

Thank you Viktoria for the photos and Petra for the report. Too bad that Maxim was not there.

Here are my pictures from Düsseldorf, 03.11.2007. I found a lab that made them today .
I hope you can enjoy. I had bad seat, therefore they are from far away ...

Thank you so much ,Petra for all photos

I found this article regarding Albena and Maxim being at Ice Age in Minsk on November 8.

http://www.focus-fen.net/index.php?id=n126322

It seems like the article is saying they are scheduled to perform but they probably won't.


I hope their assessment is wrong. I think it's good for them to forge ahead and perform even though it makes Maxim uncomfortable, because the love of the fans must surely cheer him a bit.

Petra, thank you for the photos. You did a good job as photographer.

Hi Petra,

Thank you for the photos.

I hope you don't mind the translation of you long post before asking you

I could only imagine how anxious Bulgarian fans should be to hear from someone who got to see Albena. I told them the source and I hope I did a good translation of the words. I didn't put the emoticons because I was too fast to do copy/paste from word (I am using the spell ckeck in Bulgarian of course ).

I think the girs sounded more hopeful than sad. Just like Victoria.

Petra, THANK YOU SO MUCH for the photos!!!

Wow, Petra, so many photos! Thank you!!!
