We took a stroll around town, which is pretty much just walking down one main street. Stores are open. Specifically, chotchky souvenir stores. Though Duty-Free was not open. Very odd, you would think a store catering specifically to tourists would be open. No, guess not. Someone needs to take some more business classes, I believe.
We stopped in the crafts market. There was a woman selling beautiful leather goods: purses, bracelets, etc. I definitely have to save some money for that. Though I really don't want to end up without any cash in Buenos Aires...Ah, dilemmas!
Christmas dinner was exciting. Not mine. Mine was a simple sandwich. My friends, on the other hand, should have a cooking show. They found silverware and plates and bowls in the cabinets in our hotel room. Yesterday, they bought instant mashed potatoes and chicken nuggets. Not enough milk or butter for the mashed potatoes, and no salt at all. Microwave the chicken nuggets for not as long as they did - they looked a little crunchy. And maybe don't buy this same brand - some of the chicken nuggets were all nugget and no chicken. (That is, all breading and no meat.)
Currently, they are washing the dishes. In the same sink we washed our clothes in. Our socks and underwear are currently drying on the heaters. And one pair of underwear is hanging over the toilet paper rack.
I attempted repacking some of my stuff, as we board the boat in a couple of days. I selected which bra I would leave at Vernadsky, the Ukrainian base, if we do indeed stop there. Bra for homemade vodka, seems like a fair trade to me.
