slept in, then continued my morning walk ritual around town. went to the river, stopped at the store, got some cash, and hung out by the free wi-fi. stopped by the Continent Hotel at the end of Sovetskaya and ran into a large group of westerners, so stopped and chatted for a bit. had a festive afternoon then taxied to the edge of town and toured a beautiful old cemetery outside of town. finally made my way to a fantastic Ukrainian restaurant further outside of town. had a great meal and got to watch a storm roll in. got back to the apartment pretty late, and was satisfied with my last night in town.
