We rented an apartment in downtown Adler on airBnB. It was a cute little apartment with a great view of the mountains and the Black Sea.

During lunch I was accosted by a drunken Russian man. It didn't matter how many times I told him that I don't speak Russian, he kept trying.

There was only one fall, but it looked pretty brutal.
