Larissa, my translator, invited me to speak for one hour to her English students. It was one of the happiest times of my stay here. They are all young (18-22 years old I would say), and really think Americans are GREAT! I was a total celebrity. Each one wanted to talk to me, say "hello" or "good-bye", shake my hand -- they gave me a gift to remember the city by.
And, it was just so much fun talking with them. The hour flew by. I had been nervous about how to take up the time, but that was not a problem at all.
