Morning Walk

Just a few days ago it was flurrying in our courtyard, I felt sorry for my landlord who had planted her flowerbeds before this snow, little did I know she knew that her timing was right. These blooming flowers beckoned us out of our apartment this morning for a walk, we took a lot of pictures. I won't bore you with the commentary, but here are some of our photos, it was a great walk and the city is looking great with the spring weather.

Everything is in bloom here in Russia as you can see from all the trees and flowers here in our pictures. In this particular picture you can't quite tell but there is actually a tree growing out of the roof of this building!

One of the funnest things to Josh and I is how much the Russians pose for pictures. It is not uncommon to see couples spending an exorbitant amount of time taking pictures of each other in public. They have no shame- So naturally Josh and I spent the entire morning walk taking pictures of each other- We were really just trying to

blend in.

These are our most dramatic shots....

Who knew 200 pounds could move so energetically? Here Josh is trying out for the Russian Dance team.

After our walk we had worked up an appetite.
