So breaking from the narrative of our journey that I was so out of range of internet connection to be able to relate to you. Today Igor and I went to the "Sacred Springs." A religous site where ice cold water springs up from the ground for you. Not sure what religious saint or miracle makes the sacred springs sacred, and Igor didn't seem to know either.
Anyhow, we waited our turn and then dipped ourselves into the freezing waters. Igor completed the three dunks necessary for a full cleansing of sins, I only managed 1 full dunk on my third try at entering the water, which Igor told me was fine as the posting on the wall said if the water is unmanagable one submerging is adequet.
Igor's father told us later that Igor's mother and brother were unable to get into the water as it was too cold.
All this to say that on our way back we were having a lovely little strole through the woods when out of no where... TANK!!! lol Igor and I waved to the guys one perched atop the tank and another with his head poking out just enough to see his face a cap. I would have taken a picture but figured it was probably better to not....maybe next time. :) but it was something like this (though they came and crossed much slower)
