Week 7 in Russia: Arshan in Pictures

Okay, so I'm really starting to get bad at this. Not only am I late with posts, but I'm only going to put up pictures because I don't have time for beautiful prose. I just turned in my honors thesis application, I've had exams this week and last, and I'm still working several days a week as a volunteer. Not that I don't love everything I'm doing, but the weekends are my only time to relax.

Last weekend, I went to Arshan, a village in Buryatia located at the foot of the Sayan mountains to the West of Lake Baikal. We went hiking through the mountains (on a very icy "trail," I might add) to a waterfall. We then walked down the frozen river between the cliffs back to where we started. It was absolutely beautiful, so I'll let the pictures speak for themselves:

The one advantage of being a University Major and thus the abandoned child of the rest of the departments? I get to turn in my honors application in October.

I think.

Relax! We're supposed to be buggering off on our semester abroad, no?
