Russian cafe.
During our visit to Nikolaevsk we saw the sign CAFE painted on a rock and Ruth said "lets have a cup of coffee before heading home to our RV". COFFEE! 
We had no idea what kind of an experience we were about to have. If we thought that the Crab Shack on Tybee Island Georgia was eclectic then this place was way over the top. As we looked for a place to sit in the closed in porch, Nina, the owner yelled at us through an open window to come in here. When we entered the second room a sight met our eyes that only pictures can describe. There were gift items everywhere: nesting dolls, barrettes, broaches, books, cotton scarves, lacquered boxes, wooden spoons, bowls, beads and vases in all price ranges. There were racks and racks of
clothes to dress up in for photographs and then there was Nina herself.
It was almost as if we had stepped into another country.
