Day Eleven

Just a walk in the park. Well it was -10 and a stiff wind, but the sky is always a deep blue and the sun always brilliant. It warms up at nearly 4:00 PM and stays light until 8:00 PM. Kostanai's Central park is just outside our door and we make it a habit to start most trips by walking through the Park. Today, after our "Julia visit," we had lunch at yet another cafe with Olyssa, this one called The Waterfall or something) We then visited a book store to buy a more extensive map, a baby book with the Russian alphabet and some postcards of Kostanai. Carrie was recommended to have a two hour facial which was scheduled for 5:00 PM at a salon called Eden. (It was fantastic!) Bruce had a five o'clock appointment with his pillow for a short nap! Tomorrow we plan to visit the Russian Orthodox Church where women can only visit at certain times of the month and must have their heads coverred at all times. We'll eat at The School Bus Cafe where we're told they have hot dogs and hambergers! We'll be the judge of that! Stay tuned for our food review! It's still cold. We still rely on your comments and emails (bjqmiller@gmail.com) and look forward to seeing you all again, real soon. Until then, Peace and Love to all
