Comrades, Family & Loved Ones,
Today was a day of relaxation, recuperation and alot of eating. After a delicious multi-course breakfast cooked by our hosts, the two Angelas, some of us went for a trail ride up the Terskol Valley and others of us soaked up the sun on the patio of our hotel. We all then went for a relaxed hike down to lunch. The trail is one of our favorites because it runs alongside the rushing Baksan River and has it all— berry bushes, beautiful forest and snow-capped mountain views. On the trail, we came across a camera crew filming a re-enactment of a World War I front line encampment.
The better part of the afternoon was spent having lunch— lake trout which we caught ourselves. We also presented summit certificates to the Team. After a couple- hour break and some last minute shopping we reconvened for dinner. The climb might be completed but our appetites are still in high gear.
Tomorrow is a travel day— we’re looking forward to St Petersburg!
Thanks for following,
Carole & Vern Tejas
