So many things have happened
 |
| I went to an outdoor museum with the foreign students from the university. We did a lot of sightseeing and sledding. |
 |
| Fascinating Photo: Outside a shoe store. This poster is made of real shoes, some of them pairs, painted. |
 |
| My friend wanted to take me around and show me the sights. We probably walked for 2 hours that day. It wasn't really cold out, but everything was still covered in snow. |
 |
| Noone is forgotten, Nothing is forgotten. |
 |
| The ballet theater in town. My apartment is in the building off to the right. I don't even have to walk 5 minutes to get there. |
 |
| The Zoo! A camel in this weather? Really? I found that interesting. There were bears, a lynx, and all sorts of other animals, but a camel? :) Ok. I felt bad for the camel. |
 |
| The May 1st parade. I don't think I have seen quite so many people out in this town. I didn't know there were quite so many people in this town! |
 |
| The river breaks up in May each year. It is a big event to go see the ice break up and flow north to the Arctic Ocean. I joined a group who went to see this. We did not get there in time to see the actual break-up happen, but got to see the water flowing out in the center. |
 |
| I was given an opportunity to go to the Mammoth Museum. Our guide had just been on an expedition where they brought back a piece of flesh of a mammoth that was discovered in the north. |
