On day 7 we were taken to see a typical wooden house by our guide Ireni. It was the home of Lobanov and Anatolyi Mikhailovich. He had been born in this village and made the house by hand, many years ago. He is retired now and she is a preschool teacher.They like receiving people from all over the world and do not receive any payment for their hospitality. We had a tour of the garden and a lovely tea. The house does not have any running water. They have to go into the village for water, other than what they collect off their roof. They do have electricity and a t.v. and Anatolyi was very well versed in the 1972 summit series between Canada and Russia.
