Elektrostal Public Library


After the party on the 30th we went on an excursion into town to see the local public library. You can imagine what a treat that was for me! Actually, I wasn't going to go because of my knee - they were going to walk a couple of miles through snowy woods to get there. As beautiful as it was going to be, I was afraid I wouldn't make it hobbling along on my cane and would hold them back. Director Nina wouldn't hear of me staying behind and ordered me a taxi! The rest of the group never let me live it down! Irene, our translator, rode with me and we sat in the lobby talking to the librarian till till the others got there. That's Robyn in the picture sitting in the main reading room beside the librarian.
