We didn't arrive in Uglich until the afternoon. So in the morning, we had a short Russian Language Lesson by Lidia, and a presentation on Russian Handicrafts by Anna, the Arts and Craft Consultant who ran the ship's gift shop.
After lunch, we arrived in Uglich where we visited the Church of St. Dmitry on the Blood and the Transfiguration Cathedral. We also had some time to do some shopping at the stalls near the pier.
For dinner, we divided up into smaller groups since we were going to have home-hosted dinners. The group that I was in went with a lady to her apartment. Her niece helped out serving the meal, but her husband was hiding at their dacha (country cottage). We were served Uglich "moonshine" made from sugar and yeast. It had a nice caramel-like flavor with a very strong kick.
