George tells me that the Hotel Dom Nauczyciela is the best hotel in town. The rooms are very small, and certainly not very elaborate, but they're comfortable. I think I'd feel claustrophobic if I had to spend too much time in this room, but I can certainly handle it for one night.

Accessing the Internet from my room turns out to be a little tricky – for some reason, I can't seem to break the dial tone, which means that I can't dial out. I try several different strategies, to no avail. Finally, I switch from tone dialing to pulse dialing, and voila, I'm on the Net – which is why you may be seeing this photo not long after it was taken.
