Had a good sleep in and started the day with a few coffees. Decided to head over to the large National Mari El Museum to find out more about these Finno-Urguric people.
(That is, their language is closest to Finnish, Estonian and Hungarian.) Nice museum with good anthropology and nature sections. The Mari were even pagan until the start of the 20th century! 
After spending an hour there, I headed over to the cafe in the Cultural Park to finish up reading 'The Road to Life' by Shevchenko, and to catch up on some diary writing.
Called up Katarina to see if she would permit me to cook dinner that night. (Decided on lamb stew in red wine tomato sauce.) Went to the market to pick up a few things, a couple bottles of Chechen wine, and then headed back to the flat to start cusining. Dinner turned out really well (as did the Chechen wine!) and spent the evening working on a jigsaw puzzle before getting some sleep for the ride tomorrow.
