Wednesday evening walk
Hi Friends!
The weather this week has been pretty nice, it got up to 70 degrees F today. We had noticed a small orthodox church on the way home from language study, so this evening after dinner we took a walk with Violet to go check it out. Here are some pictures.
As always, thanks so much for keeping up with us!
Some fall colors on the way
Micah went inside for a little bit, very beautiful.
Stopped at a playground on the way back, Violet could barely reach the wheel. =)
Cat Circus & Селёдка!
Hi Friends!
On Saturday we were invited to attend кошек театре (cat theater) with some friends. It’s basically clowns doing tricks with cats! It was fun & cute. Afterwards, our friends came over our apartment and made us a traditional Russian dish called “селедка под шубой” which is translated to “Herring under a fur coat”. It’s a casserole of sorts with raw herring on the bottom, followed by raw onions, cooked – shredded potatoes, carrots, beets with mayonnaise in between and hard boiled eggs on top with dill as a garnish. Thanks to our friends Andrei & Julia for making great food! Here are some pictures from the day.
Thanks for checking out our blog!
