I was up at 8:00. The room is darker and the sunlight doesn't get through to wake me. I can now ask, "Moozhna Ya Doosch?" (May I shower?) And they actually know what I am asking! The funny part is that Irena always answers me in English! I had compote, tea, and fruit before going to the Institute for breakfast - ugh!
We heard the legend of St. Peter and Fevronia - miracle - they were buried together - true love! We heard a report on economic development in Murom -getting better very slowly. We then heard the legend of Ilya Morametz. Lunch - ugh!
Later in the afternoon we visited the Crafts and Culture Center. They shared a wonderful show of crafts, traditional dress and folklore with folk music. Fabulous! We then boarded a boat on the river Oka. The trip was pleasant with all the sights down the river. Dinner - ugh!
At home we watched the movie, "Catch Me If You Can". I attempted to make brownies by adding too much water. It overflowed in the oven! AHHHH!!!! I think Elena was ready to throw me out of the flat! But she watched it and saved it! When she served it, it was actually edible! We then talked and answered Elena's questions until midnight!
