little store

  After we got back to the hotel we were hungry but didn't want to go to the restaurant in the hotel so we walked over to the little store across the street. We didn't ever go there last time so this was new for us. As you walk in there are some stairs to go up. This store like all the stores here is underneath some apartments. At the top of the stairs there is a lingerie store with all different type of nylons all up on the windows and night gowns and stuff inside this little shop, reminded me of how a concessions stand looks but with lingerie hhaha. Then you go up some more stairs and into the store it is a grocery store What it reminds me of is the organic section of a grocery store at home, you know where they have shelves of things but only 2 or 3 choices of types or brands. Unlike in the  US where you get 20 choices lol. This is how I think all the grocery stores are here,  E took us to one last time and it was just like this so simple again taking me back to the 40s or something. I can't help to think how do people live like this? with so few choices? but that is an American talking we are so spoiled with junk! so we found a few snack things, we got these pretzels type things and some crackers some chips, water and Pepsi oh and some chocolate yum yum ! junk food!.but they also had on a shelf Easter baskets and a few stuffed toys that you push the tummy and it sings a song in Russian I have no idea what it is singing but I thought it would be neat too get Josiah something like that to have as a keepsake. I didn't get it but we are going back today and I will.

We want to get "Michaela" a few things while we're over there too. Are there a lot of little shops over there to buy stuff? We're staying the whole 10 day wait. Are yall? Can we go exploring while there?
