I forgot to write about my last day at the summer camp! I was in the kitchen cooking when a little boy ran in to show us his new souvenir, a dead bat. I told him to put it down because it could have a disease or rabies - everyone, in Austin at least, knows to never touch a downed bad. He assured me it was dead, but I told him it didn't matter. At least get it out of the kitchen! I brought him a bowl to put it in, then told him to go wash his hands with soap and water, which he did. Oh, boys will be boys!
Boys will also be... girls? I was really confused at first when I saw one little boy dressed in drag. Then I saw it was not just him! I guess I had missed the part where the coordinator said we would be having a cross-dressing fashion show competition. It was really fun to see the litte boys and girls dressed up in each other's clothing.
Later the girls cooked vereniki, Ukrainian dumplings. I was a little shocked they were using the dirty table outside and a beer bottle as a rolling pin, but it worked!
In Odessa this morning, before embarking on my moving adventure, I finally got a chance to check out this restaurant I have been eyeing since the last time I was in town. I ordered blini, which are like pancakes. They were not filled with apricots and honey like I thought I ordered, but rather mushrooms and sour cream... looks like I should listen more carefully and not be so eager to agree with servers when they ask me questions. Either way they were pretty delicious!
