This week it started to get much colder! Most of the leaves were gone from the trees by mid-October, and it has snowed three times already. But now the temperatures are going below 20--yesterday was only 15 degrees!
My host family has a dog, and I see lots of birds outside.
Seeing the snow coat the tops of the trees from my apartment window! We live on the 8th floor and I can see a nearby lake that's surrounded by tall pine trees.
In Russia there are places where you can go and play with raccoons. It's like cat cafes in the U.S., but raccoon cafes!
