What's a Dacha?

This is a dacha! Our friends Mel and Nancy have a dacha about 15 miles from Ivanovo in a little village. A dacha is where you can do lots of different things.
1. Relax
2. Watch the grass grow -- this is very important
3. Cut the grass after you watch it grow with a real lawnmower
4. Cook "Sashleek" Russian Bar-b-que (but not on the grass)
5. Play volley ball and soccer on the fresh cut grass
6. Run barefoot through the fresh cut grass
7. Gather flowers before cutting the grass
8. Have lots of fun with friends and family
