Altaier Adventure...


This morning, we explored another new mall, Altaier, 20 minutes from our abode by car and almost an hour on public transportation. PTL for a car and that I can drive!!! Yaroslavl is the “City of New Malls”…we have 3 nice new malls and have heard that they are building a fourth!

All the malls are very similar with many clothing stores, a grocery store, a Food Court and a children’s area. Keith and I evaluate a mall on the grocery store, Food Court (mainly Keith) and the quality of the stores (mainly Kristie). The kids, of course, access a mall by the toys and refer to the mall by the color of the outside.

Altaier, the brown mall, is very nice with many great stores, my favorite coffee shop and Sabarros Pizza!!! Outside they had huge blow-up slides and a castle, automatic cars and bumper boats!!!

I meet a really cute, sweet girl, Nigora, from Tajikistan that speaks great English. She was really excited to be able to practice her English and is going to come visit us with her husband on Saturday.
PICTURE: ME with Nigora at the Castle. ME looks sad, because she hated the Castle…it was really big and very bounce and ME could not even stand up. Nigora works at the kid’s center and had to rescue ME.
