Balta photos








Finally! I think the computer that I've been trying to post on didn't have ActiveX or something installed. Anyway, here are some photos from Balta. From top, the Administration building where we go to meet with the Inspector. The statue is Lenin.

The second is a typical street in Balta. Other than a couple of the main streets, most are unpaved. The third photo are some typical soviet-style apartment buildings near where we're staying. There are many of these buildings around our part of town.

The fourth photo is a shot of downtown Balta's main street. This street is always bustling with activity, people shopping, working, doing business, etc. The last photo is a shot of the Saturday open air market. There are many vendors who sell a variety of products, from fishes, meat, cheeses and vegetables, to clothes, shoes, housewares, and toys. There are regular stores in town, but this market has the most variety of anything you'd want.
