October 5

We spent the week in the Republic of Buryatia. Our first place was Ulan-Ude, and we arrived early on the thirtieth. We visited a Russian village outside and watched "Goldfinch" in Russian. On the second, we spent the night in a Buryatia yurt. After that, we went to a museum of art, and on the same day went to the village of Tankhoy (Танхой). The day after our arrival, we went hiking in Baikalsky Zapovednik. The next day we hiked in the nearby marsh, after which we rested in a cafe, in which we met this kitten.
