Super Angie...Russia part 6

FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!





One thing for sure, Pilgrim Tours feeds you three solid meals a day!!! I still recommend bringing your own comfort foods and of course, trail snacks, but be prepared for 2 -3 courses at each meal.

We ate lots of soups--Borscht of course and then other types. We had fish and rice one night, eggs, sausage, cream of wheat, corn flakes, stew, salads, and so many other meals I can't remember.

We had a selection of teas, coffees and hot chocolates. There was also some juice and milk. Lots of fresh cut fruit as well--I loved the Kiwi! And then COOKIES and CANDY! There was always a huge selection of Russia candy and cookies. Lots of bread, meat and cheese as well.

We had a lot of fun sitting around the table eating, laughing and sharing stories. We all loved our cook, Lucia (or Luda). Sometimes other climbers would come in for a snack, so we got to meet other people too. We enjoyed talking to a skiier from Germany and a climber from Italy.

It was cold in the kitchen though, so it wasn't unusual for everyone to be wearing big puffies and hats. We usually had breakfast at 7 or 8, lunch at 2 or 3, and dinner at 7.

I wish I hadn't been so sick, I would have enjoyed the meals more. They really did take good care of us.
