actually it was very beautiful and smelled great. we went with our good friend sasha, which is helping us by showing us around the city. there were lots of lilacs. they have 21 out of 28 total species of lilacs growing there. and then an owl attacked lyala! after that we sat for a long time and had some beer. it is strange being in a place where people drink more beer than me. it's just these beer tents they keep calling me. i think i hear one now. enjoy these pictures while i answer the call.
