House Museum in the city center. Converted into the museum itself the
house of the original Decembrist contained all of the beautiful and
authentic relics near and dear to the Volkonsky family. The expedition
consisted of a guided tour of Sergey and Maria Volkonsky's studies,
library, and winter garden, among other rooms. The group also enjoyed a
impromptu concert on the Maria's piano. After a delicious lunch of
various Russian sandwiches, the group explored downtown Irkutsk's
markets and sites. Some members of the group had the opportunity to
enjoy a live, open-air concert hosted by the city to promote drug abuse
awareness.
We returned to the dorm in the evening to eat our last dinner in Russia
and celebrate Lena's return to the group, having been discharged from
the hospital this afternoon. We are now packing and hoping that all of
our Russian goods fit under the weight limit! So long for now, we hope
to see you again, Russia!
