We’re staying with Carolyn and Dean, who are friends with my parents and are living here for a while on joint medical missions for the LDS church.  Carolyn has seized upon the role of tour guide and has planned every minute of our 2.5 day stay.  We’ve got fun adventures planned, and they greeted us with a terrific dinner:

Borsch and lemonade (with matryoshka dolls as a centerpiece)

 

Various toppings for the borsch

And can you guess what Dean’s serving up?

Ice Cream!

Wrapped up in a tube like sausage – more practical than you might expect!

Okay, Carolyn has announced that it’s time to go to Victory Park.  Da svidanye!
