206. Masha and the Americans. She took a small group of us to her Russian Orthodox Church where we stood for two hours listening to the beautiful acoustics of prayer and scripture. The priest, dressed lavishly in blue silk robes, moved skillfully as he conducted the ceremony around the gold iconostasis. After, Masha welcomed us into her apartment where we attempted to make blinis. It was a rough start with many burnt pancakes and a towel on fire, but eventually we had way too many delectable cream cheese blinis that couldn't all be eaten.
