We keep hearing a squeaking noise from the sidecar wheel so we popped the wheel off to see if we could find the problem. After some investigating and chatting with a friend, we pinpointed that our universal joints may be going out. It has been fine to drive on and we hope that it will continue to be ok until we can find the right replacement parts!


The photo below was taken at our hotel the second night in Russia. A random girl showed up and was dressed like a mime (with the makeup and all) and helped us order pizza to the hotel since there was only one dinner spot in town (we were in a very small town). I think she was a friend of the hotel employee, but regardless, she was pretty funny and charismatic. I originally found a local food restaurant on Google that we were excited about but the hotel employee said all restaurants are closed except the pizza place. We both were pretty disappointed because we wanted to eat local food but also thankful we could have some sort of dinner, ha!
