Your Russian word for the day is DUSHNO (pronounced DOOSH-nah) and it means
stuffy, as in hot and humid and little air circulation... That's what the
weather has been like. Partly cloudy, but hazy and DUSHNO. We were
sweating like you wouldn't believe yesterday and the rooms are kind of warm,
so a cool/cold shower feels pretty good. It actually rained here last night
for about 15 minutes.
I got a knock on the door at 10:30 pm and there were my students, back from
the circus safe and sound. I still don't know how I got left behind
(however, there was an apology note from our tour director slipped under my
door that I found this morning)-- I guess if I'm the only one to get
misplaced or lost here, that's better than a student (the rule still holds,
though-- as long as I come back with at least four of them, this trip will
have been a success!)...
We're going to wander today... More later.
Poka!
E.B.
