Hotel Views




Lipetsk Fountain at Dark






Dinner




There are two Giusto restaurants in Lipetsk.  On our last trip we visited the other one.  One of the reasons for heading to Giusto is that R knew they had Angliskiy (English) menus.  The other location did not, but we ended up with a yummy meal anyhow.  When R and I head out alone we are more willing to try the "look at the pictures and point method" of choosing food.  When the children are with us it is helpful to read the food description in English, even if not all the words translate well.  We chose this location this time due to its proximity to the hotel with the view and the grocery store, so we could pick up breakfast things after dinner. 

And on to Dinner



The last time we were in Lipetsk was early spring, green was just peaking through the ground and the maintenance men were putting the fountains together.  This trip the flowers were beautiful and abundant as were the fountains!

The View from the Eighth Floor











One of the reasons R came to town was for a meeting.  The meeting was held on the eighth floor of this hotel, he noticed the views were spectacular from there and thought of me!  He took us to the hotel for a look see before we had dinner.
