Today we said a fond farewell to the beautiful city of Irkutsk. It was a day of shopping, strolling, and leave-taking. After our farewell dinner, students and instructors celebrated at the Bochka Tavern in the city center. Helena handed out "Most Likely to..." awards to all participants, and the translators (Kolya, Dima, and special guest Vitya) gave special Buryat gifts to all of us. Tomorrow we leave our hotel at 7:00 a.m. for the airport. We'll do our best to update the blog as we progress westward on a very long Friday!
