The food here is plentiful and varied, probably not to the taste of many who read this. I had buckwheat groats for breakfast (hot cereal) not sweetened, eggs with hot dogs, a kind of pudding with raisins and sweet cheese and a roll with cherry jam, and, unfortunately, instant coffee.
The morning sessions were great. We had introductory speeches, the first by a representative from the US Embassy who spoke lightly accented, very fluent, Russian. I gave one of the greetings.
We had a brief worship service and then some ice-breakers. We stood in two circles, the inner facing the outer. for 15 seconds we introduced ourselves to the person in front of us and they to us, then a bell rang and the inner circle moved one step and we repeated with the new person. It was really good. We did other excercises that included movement and hugs and getting-acquainted exercises.
We had a sermon after that and broke for a walk before lunch. I'll spare you the details of the lunch menu but it suited me fine, including the liver chunks in liver-flavored gravy.
I'm getting ready for the afternoon session. Oh, we still have no hot water.
