Greetings from Siberia. Today we spent the day walking around the city (again) We found some interesting stores and did a lot of window shopping. The fashion over here is indescribable. Lots of dress socks and sandals. We did find a few things that were exciting. First I discovered nacho chips and salsa....and it was good! It's amazing how salsa and chips can turn your whole day around. We have been trying some different things to eat, some good, some not. They use a lot of dill on their food. Everything is covered in dill. They also grill a lot of meat and potatoes. We also eat in the room a couple times a day (bagels, oatmeal) There are food stands just about everywhere. Another exciting event today was I found a store that sold Mt. Dew. The whole city is Coke products, and it took almost a week to find it. Unfortunately the recipe must have been lost in translation, because what I thought I was going to enjoy was terrible. I was very disappointed. Of well, there is always beer....they drink a lot of beer over here. I managed to order a couple different kinds and they were pretty good. I also got a "Red Bull Cola" for free in the square today and it was not good. Hope everyone is enjoying their summer :)
Love - Rick & Marcie

Maybe little Sergei will have an addiction to dill pickles like his grandma??? LOL. Bummer about the Mt.Dew. It's a shame when all you have is beer to drink! LOL. Cute little bottle though! Hope the weekend passes quickly for you and you can get back to Sergei very soon. How many days will you have to entertain him in the hotel next week before you head back home? That may be challenging, eh? Hang in there....you're getting closer every day! Love, Terri
