This quaint village was on the way to our camp. About a mile and a half walk away from camp. A few afternoons we ventured out to saunter through it. It was fun. I wish I could have gone in some of the houses and learned some history of them. But, no one invited us in!
We thought about calling my mom from this phone, but realized we didn't have enough quarters.
The road out, the green fields and blue sky. and once in the sun, the mosquitoes weren't quite so bad!
Many dead butterflies on the sides of the roads. Brian was thinking about snacking on this one.
Protective rooster. Scaring us away!

Overall, camp was a good experience for both of us. Brian had a great time and probably could have worked out there all summer. Me? Well, it had good times and not so fun times. It was difficult to be the only NON-Russian speaker in the midst of so many. I had limited people to talk to. Plus, we were almost like celebrities out there with the kids. So every time we walked out of our room, kids would come up to us, surround us almost! Especially Brian because he would stop and chat for hours. I would put my head down and walk quickly and hope no on would notice me. :) Ha ha, just kidding, I wasn't that bad (all the time)!
If you look hard, you can see Brian in the middle of the photo. The back of his head, he has a red shirt on. Surrounded by a group of Russian kids. Just a little example of how "popular" we were at camp. The last few days of camp, we took numerous photos, we even signed a girl's arm. WOW.
BUT, on the other hand, the kids were so friendly, and we really enjoyed them. They really wanted to speak English with us. The scenery was great. And as all the Russians say "The air is so clean in the forest".
