Parents in Russia

This is going to be a quick update because we're busy beavers over here, but I just had to share about my parent's trip to the Czech Republic and Russia (real fast).

Daddy in Prague

We went to Prague in the Czech Republic (former Czechoslovakia) so that I could get a new visa at the Russian embassy.  The visa process was clean and smooth, and the town, oh the town! Prague is a medieval town that was untouched during WWII, and we had a wonderful time exploring.

The Czechs (and Russians by the way) have a tradition of putting a lock on a bridge when they get married

After Prague, we went to Moscow.  Moscow is hectic, busy, and amazing.  It's really something to see, and though I can't say it's our favorite city, we were very happy to have seen it. We saw the Kremlin, Red Square, the Christ the Savior cathedral, and even the Armory. 

The famous Bolshoi Theater

Now, we're in Novorossyisk giving the region a thorough tour.  We've been going nonstop since we got here, but thankfully the next few days will be a bit more restful. 

Dried fish, my obvious favorite!

My buddy Vasil worked as a tour guide for a while and gave us an excellent tour of the town

So friends, I'm tired and have a lot more to tell you (and a lot more photos to show!) but more on that to follow.


Пока ребята,
