It has been drizzling since we arrived here on Sunday. Today it seemed to clear a little, so we ventured and picked a road. We had never noticed that there where beautiful snow capped mountains around us until the fog cleared. Dixie found a magi zine while doing laundry and it mentioned North Fork Rd and said it had beautiful scenery. We went up the road and decided to turn on Nikolaevsk St. The article mentioned the Russian Village of Nikolaevak. The church appeared first. Then a sign for a cafe. The Samovar Cafe and Gift Shop was such a treat. There where 8 people in there and the woman was giving them instruction on what to order and what they could and could not do. She then motioned for us to come close and join the other group. We ordered borscht soup, piroshki and tea. She insisted that we have desert,too. There was Russian music playing in the background. She was busy and this unique women asked one of the women in the group waiting for food to fill mustard containers with mayonnaise. She was quite a character. There where clothes you could put on to get a real Russian experience. A very pleasant and unusual day.
Tomorrow Gene and Jim are going to try their hand at fishing. They are wanting to get some halibut and cod. If they are successful we will have to empty our freezers.
