Somewhere over the Rainbow (aka Baikal)

We began the day by dissecting the golomyanka that had been caught
2 nights ago. What a wonderful way to start the day! After determining
their stomach contents, we concentrated on ours, filling our stomachs
with more delicious Russian food. Today's novelty: compote, a fruit
drink made by boiling apricots with spices in water.
The past few days have shown us how truly abrupt weather here is
in Baikal, and today was no different. The day started sunny, then
proceeded to alter between clouds and sun until ending in rain. Soon
after we were graced by the most vivid rainbow most of us had ever seen,
driving PJ into a state of frenzy. It began over the mountains and ended
over the lake, providing picturesque views for us camera obsessed girls.
Only Father Baikal knows what we will wake up to tomorrow.
