I had a nice weekend in Yaroslavl.
Yesterday I went to the Museum of Music and Time. This Russian magician traveled all over Russia and Europe collecting stuff and he made it into Yaroslavl's first private museum. I paid US$2 and they gave me a private tour (in English!) of all his clocks, gramophones, instruments, irons (hundreds of irons), and bells. It was pretty neat. Apparently the museum owner is a pretty weird guy.
Last night I went out with some other CCS folks to a restaurant that serves Uzbek food. It was really delicious. Middle eastern, but a little bit Russian. Tasty.
This evening I went to the Volga river embankment were a children's orchestra from Exeter, England was performing. They were good for tweens.
It was a good weekend. The weather has been beautiful. I did some school stuff but also took naps. Good weekend indeed.
