Evgeny is one of the contacts here in Vlad. He invited us to the apt. he shares with his mother and she fixed blini, what we would call "crepes". Yum! She is a cute little lady and made us feel very welcome. There apartment is very simple and very Russian. If you have read Morrie's account of the events leading to the visit, you'll know how happy we were to get here safely and with the backpack!
