tomsk 1

tonight is one of the best nights in russia.

after a long walk with some tomsk state university students who showed us around the lovely city of tomsk, which included a quiet pond, the cornerstone of tomsk and the very (Very) picturesque view from the WW2 memorial, we had dinner.

a very very yummy dinner by nikita and mariana. rice with carrots and pork, pumpernickel bread and a very superb salad of tomatoes cucumbers feta cheese olives and mayo. plus, we can wash our clothes, have a bath and um, relax our bowels? finally, after tea and some sweets, we went to the roof to view the sunset and the incoming mothership of rainclouds.

life hasn't been this good yet.
