The calm wind and pleasant weather this morning created a lively atmosphere at breakfast.  The warm bread also helped brighten the day!  Singing class was held outside and the villagers participated in holding posters and performing gestures describing the songs. 

During cultural hour, the film class rehearsed their project that they created.  The evening lessons were also exciting, one class did a scavenger hunt using a Russian map and counting the steps they took by speaking in Russian.  The heritage class covered the topic of President Putin. After the evening class, all of the villagers divided into groups and participated in a geographic quiz game, where all the questions had to deal with the names of the cabins at Lesnoe Ozero.  The villagers had to answer questions like, what lake is near Irkutsk?  

After the evening program all of the villagers and counselors participated in костёр. One of the counselors got a campfire going, two others brought out their guitars, and the villagers were able to relax and sing along to their favorite songs, such as Эх, Загулял.  The sunset and smoke created a mesmerizing experience; however the villagers expressed their care free nature and broke off to play some games with other counselors.  We all sat down together for one more song before heading off to bed.
