Many Russian families own datchas. They are usually used for growing vegetables and other products during the summer season, but some people live in their datchas all year round. This one had an outhouse, no running water, no electricity, and no stove. :-D Above you can see Justin and Grisha (who used to live here with his grandparents year round and whose mother brought all of our wonderful picnic supplies and prepared a lovely meal for five!) As you can see we are dining on the tennis table!
