German Food

There's a restaurant across from the hotel that serves German food so we've been avoiding it. Come on, who can truly say that they like German food? Anyway, one of the other couples here have been very adventurous and they've eaten just about everywhere around here and this place was one of them. They gave it a big thumbs up so we decided to go with them tonight to dinner. Wow! The food was amazing! I'm sure they had some German food on the menu but I got grilled chicken on skewers and sauteed potatoes and it was incredible. I am full for the first time since arriving in Russia. After dinner we went sliding down a huge ice slide, that was fun. Some of the local teens were sliding down sanding up, craziness! There was frozen blood at the end of the slide where that method didn't work out too well for some kid. There really is nothing else for them to do in this boring town.
Tomorrow begins our long weekend of not being able to see the boys.=( Saturday is a holiday so we might not get to see them on Monday either. We'll have to start all over again with our youngest if that's the case. What do we do for 2-3 days? Walk around and try new restaurants is about it. No wonder why people are so grumpy here, it's cold and there's nothing to do! Please pray that our weekend goes by quickly for us.
Thank you for your prayers and uplifting comments!
