Not sure about you guys but I'm pretty Russian'ed out. It's a great place to visit and we were lucky enough to be there during the season where it turned from comfortably cool to "where's my coat and scarf" weather so we saw the transformation. From people out enjoying the sun in the parks to being bundled up trying to get a quick snap of themselves in front of Lenin's mausoleum.
The greatest part of the trip was seeing Russians in their element, seeing the country and the places that made them the proud people that they are now. Yes, there are still a lot of the things in the country that I had envisioned before the trip, like the police and military presence in everyday scenarios but there were also a lot of eye openers, the culture, the heritage and the interaction, sometimes cold and sometimes warm that made the trip worthwhile.
For more pictures or larger shots of the trip, feel free visit my flickr site. Go to flickr and people search J A Zaballero. I got a few pictures of my other trips there too.
Also starting next week I decided to mix it up a bit, I'll be featuring snippets of different places I've been instead of doing a series. That should make it more exciting, unless of course I have a real long story to tell.
Please feel free to leave comments, suggestions and even destinations. Pris and I are always thinking of the next place to visit.
