As Sunday's routine is more relaxed here at Lesnoe Ozero, some of the other counselors and I were able to get into town yesterday for a few hours. We did laundry and saw a movie-- Charlie & the Chocolate Factory. (The last movie I saw in a theater was Finding Nemo.) I like Johnny Depp movies and though this remake of the Gene Wilder classic was pretty good. Great special effects and a Johnny Depp is somewhat of a darker Willy Wonka... Gotta say that the I liked the Oompa Loompas in the original version better (as well as the original Oompa Loompa song).
Today we were back on the regular schedule, albeit under less than favorable weather conditions. It got kind of chilly overnight and was in the 60s with a stiff wind and light rain for most of the day; on the plus side, the bugs weren't as active today (but the kids had to be entertained inside, since the beach was closed).
Just another busy day here on the Black Sea (that's what we call Lake Trowbridge while we're here)... Tomorrow is Kyrgystan Day, since one of our teachers here is Kyrgyzi...
Poka!
