What a whirlwind trip of the Russian capital city. I swear, I have never been to more museums or churches in my LIFE! Today I went to the Novodevichy convent, and perhaps I should have steered clear of the lord. A bird attacked me and actually grabbed my scalp. Now, I'm not saying my hair doesn't look like a bird's nest some days, but SERIOUSLY! They look so innocent...
 |
| They look so harmless...but never trust a bird. |
 |
| Lesson learned - cover the nest! |
 |
| Novodivichy |
As you've heard, a picture if worth a thousand words, so I'm going to let my photos do the talking.
 |
| FUR! |
 |
| Old communist building |
 |
| Metro station |
 |
| St.Basils...which is actually SAINT VASILY! English people always change everything |
 |
| My bedmate for the weekend - margot |
 |
| GUM - huge mall with stores WAY out of my price range! |
 |
| Lovers Bridge |
 |
| One of Stalin's skyscrapers |
 |
| You know, in Russia, there are bears in the streets! |
 |
| Church of our Saviour |
 |
| A shot in the royal gardens at Pushkin near St.Petersburg |
 |
| Catherine the Great's summer palace - that's a lot of mirrors! |
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST!! Afton is the proud owner of an authentic Russian fur hat! The picture doesn't do it justice!!
