Russia continues

I forgot to explain to those of you who don't know why I went to Russia. There are optional classes at my school where you learn about a particular area or country and then as a class you go to that country. I took the Russia Past and Present class and we went to Russia last week.

this is an old lighthouse

The coffin of Peter the Great


Nicolas II and his family

a statue making fun of Peter the Great

his long fingers


Russian Souvenirs
Our Savior on the Blood Cathedral

red juice, it might be from currents
