I think I really realized today that I am in a very different country when Tanya showed me her mom's tomatoes in my room and said that they were her pride and joy – she told me that this is the first batch of tomatoes
since Chernobyl that has come out red instead of black.Chernobyl isn't anywhere close enough to Ryazan to affect the tomatoes, but that it even crossed her mind...
Tanya took me around downtown Ryazan today to see the Kremlin and the Kupol Church. Ryazan is a very interesting town. It's almost European and it feels like it was once very big, although it now seems small.
