Village birthday

Yesterday was our friend Yana's birthday, and she invited everyone out to her parents' village house for the day for a banya and shashlik.

Child labor?

With Lena

Sasha and Taras heating up the banya

Cooking shashlik

Yum!

This next photo was just one of the children playing with the camera, but I'm posting it so that you can see the color of the wall.

Hold that color in your mind....

After the banya

Lena said that we should have posed her, in her red shirt, with some tomatoes, in front of the red wall. She'll probably kill me for posting this photo.

Happy birthday, Yana!
