Living Abroad in Miass Russia Жизнь в Миассе. Woburnites Reside in Russia for the Summer. Thursday, July 9, 2009. Yesterday was great because I did yoga and then was on the computer all day. Sooo relaxing. But today was phenomenal. Marina, who again, I am so lucky to know that I can’t believe it, went with me to Lake Turgoyak. This is the catchy visitors center. There are also newer fancier houses, but they clash with the more charming cottages in town. The church is my favorite building! Then, she came ...

Living Abroad in Miass Russia Жизнь в Миассе. Woburnites Reside in Russia for the Summer. Thursday, July 16, 2009. This might be the most exciting week ever, never mind the most exciting week in Russia. Wednesday night we had the amazing opportunity to go to a Russian Banya. If you want, they will beat you with branches. At first this seems abusive, but, upon trying it, I highly recommend it. They soak two kinds of fragrant branches (pine and birch perhaps? Next we all gathered round for okroshka окрошка.

Living Abroad in Miass Russia Жизнь в Миассе. Woburnites Reside in Russia for the Summer. Tuesday, July 14, 2009. Silver Sands Beach with Mikhail. Russian campers are quite communal. They all share food and cooking with the tents in the surrounding area. Mikhail was a celebrity; he knew everyone there as he gave us a tour. The campers shared food like cucumber and tomato salad with dill and a chicken veggie spread on bread. Then, I got a chance to take a spin in his inflatable Kayak. A Day Hike in Miass.
