Yidbits from Yaroslavl
*The 8 new volunteers came in Sunday. It is nice to have their energy and enthusiam.
*While walking along the river the other day I Heard a bell ringing. A small sounding bell. I was thinking that i sure seemed to here it a lot on the river walk. Then I noticed that all the fising poles had bells on them. The fishermen cast his line, secures the pole, and then before he sits down to wait on a bite he attaches a small bell to the end of the poll. The fish bites and the bell rings. You can fish with your eyes closed...neat idea :)
*When I arrived the sun was setting at aroung 10.15. last night it set at 8.30.
*Eight of us are going to St. Petersburg this weekend. We leave Thursday evening at 10.00 for the 12 hour train ride. We are going third class..40 or so beds in an open train car and then 6 of us are sharing a room at a hostel. It should be a good binding weekend :). This should really bring out the introvert in me.
* This weekend is the festivel of the fountains in ST Pete. At noon on Saturday they start a big festevil at the fountains with music, a ballet, dancers, etc. It should be blast. The fountains close for the season in a couple of weeks.
* This is Andys last week so tomorrow is the last time I will see him. He came in with me and has been a real great guy to hang with. His photography is awesome. I hope to post some of pictures soon. Andy is considering coming back to Yaroslavl to go to college. Good luck Andrew.
*Sharon, the Russia director from New York is one of the 8 volunteers this week and will be going with us this weekend.
*I extended 2 weeks today so now my last day, unless I extend again, is Oct 8th.
Until Monday...борис
