Russian Dacha Diary

Facade
My wife painted the wood details on the balcony and fence in front of the house with a really foul-smelling paint. In this photo my mother-in-law's 2000 Dodge Caravan sits in front of the gate onto the property. Judging from a badge affixed to the rear of the car, it once belonged to someone in Elkhart, Indiana.
