While we were in Russia, we had a few special dates to celebrate. One of those dates was our 6th wedding anniversary. We were actually in Siberia for our anniversary, which was definitely a unique experience. We were at a retreat center and on the 3rd full day of leading our retreat. The theme of the day was marriage led by a couple from our team, so it was definitely a fitting topic for us. The day was filled with scheduled activities for the retreat, so we didn't really do anything special to celebrate.
Here was the meal we were served at the retreat center. Ironically, it was probably my least favorite meal out of our 5 days there. We had hot tea to drink, as we did at every meal and some sort of mayonnaisey salad. The main course was omul fish, from nearby Lake Baikal, buckwheat, and bread. Yum, huh? Like I said, this was probably my least favorite meal. We joked over the nice meal Scott and arranged for our anniversary.
We did have the most amazing sunset that night though, so we enjoyed being able to watch that for hours. These pictures were taken around 10pm, but the sunset display started even earlier than that.
And the colors in the sky lasted forever. In fact, we could still see some of the sunset after we'd gone to bed at 10:45 or so. I said the beautiful sunset was God's gift to us on our anniversary!
It's been a wonderful 6 years, and I look forward to many more adventures together through our married life.
