Sun, Sun, and more Sun
Well it's day 3 of 90 degree weather. My apartment and the school are both without airconditioning, so I'm sure when I get home I will be freezing in the A/C.
Tomorrow is Russia Day (like their Independence Day) so there will be fireworks and stuff, which will be something new and exciting to see. Sunday we are going to a soccer game in town, which I'm really looking forward too, although apparently the team isn't very good.
We also went to the town planetarium this week, and a regional history museum. The Planetarium was built by Germans after the war, and it was a beautiful building. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera with me so I don't have any pictures of it yet sorry. The history museum
was very interesting. It had regional traditional clothing, examples of a peasant house, and of a house of the merchant class before the war. There was also a natural history part with stuffed animals during the different seasons in the region, as well as prehistoric fossils and such. If it weren't so hot and we weren't all so tired I'm sure we would have wanted to spend some more there.
Next week is that last week of class and then we have one last weekend with our families and its "dasvidanya" to Russia. It will take us about 3 days to get home, so if you don't hear from me right away when I get home, please forgive me, I will be exhausted. I can almost taste the fast food!!!!
I posted new pictures so make sure to check those out!
