House of Scientists
We made plans with three students to go to the Central Siberian Botanical Garden this morning. At 8:30, it was 46ºF with a wind chill of 40ºF and 16 mph winds. We wimped out. We called Paulina and changed the plan to meet at 10:30 and go to a photo exhibit at the House of Scientists. She thought the weather was fine but went along with the change. As it turned out, the weather has been better than fine! It must be in the 60s; it's been a beautiful day. Next time we'll trust the local weather forecaster!
The photo exhibit of the Altay Mountains had been replaced by a Korean exhibit at the House of Scientists.
Paulina, Jane, and Olga steered us to the exhibition hall at the House of Scientists. We enjoyed looking at the art work--silk thread, instead of paint, on pieces of silk. Luckily, Olga had her camera since Peggy left hers at the apartment.

This is the House of Scientists. The museum is here along with a restaurant and a pleasant lobby filled with greenery and a pond.
Olga, Jane, Bob, and Peggy in the exhibit hall.

Jane and Bob walking in front of the movie theatre on ulitsa Ilicha, Akademgorodok's main street.
Peggy and Paulina, chatting away, on our way back from the exhibit.
This evening Bob and I returned to the restaurant for dinner. Very enjoyable.
We added Sep 10, "Sunday in Moscow," to this collection. At this rate, we'll be caught up in about 10 days!

That's not too bad, we're having upper 40-ties here too in the mornings :)
Bob, here's something to keep you warm and entertained: I recall you asked me about the restaurants there, so I found this webguide to Novosibirsk restaurants:
http://www.sibrestoran.ru/restaurants/
Unfortunately, it is in Russian, but here are some tips:
this is the search page, so find "Район" (District) dropdown and choose "Академгородок" (Academgorodok) towards the very bottom. Then click "Искать" (Search) button.
This should show the list of Academgorodok restaurants, and you'll be able to see the street names and cuisine type. I'd say you should avoid those that say 'KAFE' and try out the ones that are 'RESTORAN'.
Good luck!
