Sights to see!

It is getting cold out!!! I love it. I should say, it is not just getting cold, it has been below freezing already. Katrina and her family and I went for a walk one Saturday evening into town. It was so nice out. The fountains were still going in the center. Not sure if they are still running now or not. It is only October and cold!

I am not sure if this is our 1st or 2nd snow. But it is one of those 2! That was almost a week ago!
I got to join a group headed out to Suzdal and Vladimir this last weekend. It was a planned trip, but by the time I found out I was actually going it was totally last minute! I had a ton of fun though, and loved the quietness of the town and just being able to walk from one end to the other. I had wonderful fellowship with the people I went with, friends from small group. We had fun playing games together and walking around to see the sights.
The place we stayed was a hostel, but it was like a mini resort center. Beautiful in the middle of this run down little town. And of course because I was the only American in the group I got to do translating the minute we walked in the hostel for some English speakers who were trying to travel across the country and didn't speak any Russian.
The cathedrals were all so beautiful! It was such a peaceful time! So there you have it. Some photos and thoughts of what I have been doing. I might include more later, as I am getting more photos from others in the group. But, that is all for now!
