Day 9 - Svirstroy

Saturday, May 11, 2013

Today is a much anticipated event, a home visit to a local babushka.  She is an 86 year-old mother with lots of stories to tell about being a teen in WW II.  She lives here with her daughter in a four-plex given to her by the government.  The mother has everyday worries such as who will fix a leaking roof, while her daughter is more upbeat and a big fan of Nicholas Cage!

More cramped space than what it appears

 
Four-plex, but looks are deceiving on the outside; much repair needed on inside
