What I saw inside – I will show, but not to tell I will, come and see for yourself, it will be more interesting. I will notice only that the aunt-guide turned out to be extremely entertaining the storyteller. She did not pour water, not ekala, not mekala, but on clean and In plain Russian, she calmly told the story of the place and its main inhabitant.
