the russian's came to sitka


a group of russian sailors came to sitka to celebrate the 200th year or something that they settled sitka.  we first saw about 50 russian sailors walking down the road all decked out in uniform and big white sailor hats.  some stopped in the store, so i showed them a quick demonstration and asked them if they were shopping for anyone in specific they looked at me all big eyed and i realized they didn't speak a lick of english.  so i just said 'girl' to show them the nail polish and they all got real excited and repeated  YEAH GIRLS!!  i just laughed and they just got embarrassed and walked out, it was pretty funny.  so that night spencer, brittany and i took a little ride out to see their boat at the other end of the island, it was pretty cool.  we got some pictures with them but they are on spencer phone so we'll post them later! 

much love,
olivia and sherm
