Trip

We got to see some of the country to day as we went on a road trip to the center of the region, each region has a city in the center which shares the name of the region, each city has a city center which has some sort of park with some type of monument. I asked Tanya if she ever got to leave the orphans she said she went to camp, it sounds like camp is very similar to the orphanage as far as the activities they do their. They also go to the cemetery around easter. It is tradition for the towns people to take baskets of food, cakes, candy etc to the cemetery and pay their respects to lost loved ones around easter. In some cities the homeless will come to gather the food that was left, in this town they take the kids from the orphanage to gather the food that was left. We ate lunch at a very fancy restaurant in the park we went to, it was the type were the waitress replaces your silver wear with every course etc. I told Tanya not to get spoiled because once we hit america mc donalds is going to be as good as it gets. She ordered ice cream with candy I expected maybe it would have chunks of candy bar but when they brought it had peeled orange wedges around the top almond and the candy was rosel well I'm not sure the type but it is the expensive type. It made me wonder if she had ever eaten in such a place. She had fun play on the playground equipment. Went on a ferris wheel and had several rides on the bumper cars. Their was several other rides that were closed, probably for winter. It was the first time she had done such things and I look forward to taking her to Hershey Park. We took Alina and Vika their last summer and they had a blast.

  1. sounds like lots of fun ... at first, i thought that this was a family trip, but it sounds like you don't have Alina with you on this trip.

    it's good to have the "fancy" experience ... you never know when you might have another opportunity!!

    The tradition of leaving food for the orphans and homeless is a good tradition that will be easily transferred here to teach charity here! (it's just done in a different way!)

    oh, by the way-- McD's isn't "good"!! - at least get to pizza hut, where there is salad!! :) --(you do know that's MY favorite, right?) we'll have to initiate them into the annual pizza/bowling trips!! come on family--let's get it together this year !!!

    love you all! continue to have fun and see the sights !
