Lunch at McDonalds in the "special birthday party room". There were 14 of us so the manager put us in this room.
Left side is Arva, her 3 daughters and her sister, Sisters Jones and Dayberry in front between Shrek, Linda, Don, Aliene, Linda, and Bethany in back, Chad and I are taking pictures.


We have arrived at the Gzhel store.

Look at all of the porcelin that is made right in this town of Gezhel! The factory is very close but we had already missed one train and taken a marshootka (and it was raining) so we didn't get to the factory.

After shopping, we walked a mile or two and then through a little muddy trail, down through the trees to find the train.
