Some of my best memories are from the steaming and washing sessions at my childhood banya. I can’t really experience that in the U.S. anymore. Even though there’s a Russian spa where I live, it’s not the same as the one at our dacha.
Not yet, unfortunately, but I'm sure a Russian immigrant built something like this. Now I'm intrigued and might start asking around occasionally. I think this tradition is worth preserving.

Have you ever seen a Russian building private banya in the US, the authentic type that uses chopped wood?
