We stopped by the Farmer's Market in the Morning, for anyone who wanted to buy food for the train ride home. That place was MASSIVE!! I'm not sure I've ever seen a farmer's market so large before!!

*****

Jess and I finished early, and we walked back together. As we walked, I was snapping pictures of street signs and graffiti, as per normal.

We shopped a little bit at the underground kiosks in one of the perexods (underground walk ways), where I picked up one of the Sochi Olympic bags I'd been eyeing, as well as some killer, huge earrings (among a few other things), and then Jess and I gave into temptation (and the promise of a "business lunch" discount) and we went to Café Boobs for lunch!!

The place was actually kinda classy. Ha ha ha! Except for that whole part where lots of things on the menu were shaped like boobs. But, that's part of the charm of the place, now, isn't it?

Also, I love this sign:

(It says: "Warning! This restaurant can change your life!")

After lunch, I tried to stop by an ATM, but I absolutely COULD NOT find one that worked!!! Finally, while in search of what I thought was a bank, but was just an advertisement for one, I found an ATM, and life was grand again.

We continued back to the Hotel, Jess and I snapping a few last pictures on the way; and then we stopped in at a sweetshop we had seen when we'd first arrived: Café Biscuit.

That Café made the whole damn trip to Sochi worth it, in the space of half an hour! Oh. My. GOD.

It was soooooo good!!!!!! Check out some of the pictures!

*****

After all that, I chilled At McDonald's for most of the afternoon, until I had to get back to the hotel to get my stuff and check out, to leave for the train station, and to leave Sochi!

While we were in the train station, waiting, somehow or other I wound up dancing with Irina, and people were taking videos. I wasn't too happy about that part…

Also while in the station, I also found out that it's going to be a FORTY-TWO HOUR train ride back to Moscow!!!! God Help Me….

In the meantime…

May the 4th be with you tomorrow!!!
