Bahar geldi!

This weekend the weather in Simferopol was beautiful and I had a great time walking around and hanging out with some new friends.

On Saturday morning I set out to the outdoor book market.  On the way there I passed these adorable little strays waiting outside of a shop.

It didn't take me too long to figure out what they were waiting for.  Looks like these fellas have a long time friend in the neighbourhood.


Must post this picture as well so you can see the honey stand.


And she's a cat person too.


At the market, I picked up some great finds, including old travel guides of Simferopol, Karaim cookbooks, a great present for Heidi that is also a secret, a collection of short stories by Babel since Melissa is always raving about him, and a few atlases.



Don't be fooled by everyone in coats and hats - the weather was beautiful...


...as you can see from this woman hanging out in her window.

That looks like such a nice day! -^ ^- That must have been so relaxing to go to the outdoor book market. The progression of events felt like a happy-go-lucky children's book. Especially when the lady gave the dogs food and was also a cat person. Ahaha.
