Men's Retreat

Men's Retreat!


Steve joined this International group of men (Russians, Americans, Australian and Brit) for a day of hiking and shashlik (Russian version of grilling meat over an open fire). They traveled about an hour from our home and arrived in a region that is part of Russia, and yet all its own. It is called Adigeya. The people who live in this region are primarily Muslim. Their homes, towns and way of life are different than the Russians living just right across the river.

Steve said they had a great time and would love to build a house right there in the middle of the woods! Ironically enough, about twenty minutes from this site, IKEA has bought land and has taunted us with promises of thinking about building on it in the next two years.
