Retro Park and more.

This is Retro Park again. It is a pay by donation site and not much more than the peson's front yard and porch. There seems to be lots going on behind the scenes as well with lots of old junk being turned into interesting projects. The cars are in pretty poor shape but interesting none the less.
I got to do some archery at the lake but let the master do the shooting with the crossbow. It was a nice diversion. Ange practiced her sign language and we stopped by the kiosk at the tram stop to check out the huge variety of beer available on the street corner. That and cigarettes fill the window with prices and there is a very small window where you place your order and pay. Beer is a staple here, even more than Vodka. Instead of a Tim Horton's you can get a draft beer while you grocery shop. There was even a beer "wagon" at the corner where you can get your jug filled up with local draft. No need to go thirsty (or sober) here. Most local beers are half litre or more and often go to several litres. Good to wash down the smoked fish from Lake Baikal before it stinks out the house. I will have to reconsider buying it from the vendors along the rail line and bringing it into our small cabin.
