Smile Those who have recently travelled..pics

I know this was done a while back also, but I thought maybe the ones who have just recently travelled could post some of their pics from Russia. We have so many newbies that they may want to see your trip pics and get a sense of what they will experience.

If anyone else would like to post some pics from their regions that would be great too!!

Of course I would love to see them too.

fugie..I would love to see some of your pics of Stavropol.

This is a couple of pics from Stavropol...the first one is 1 of the 5 mountains on the way to Pyatigorsk.

Thanks

here's a picture of dedication day at one of the 3 orphanages where my husband and daughter helped construct a play structure. i thought it was ok to post this as you can't make out any of the children's faces too clearly.

it was such an exciting project for them to be part of.

Here are a few pics of our recent journey. We didn't take as many of Stav as we would have liked to but we have a bunch from Moscow before and after our trip back to Stav.

This is the courthouse in Stavropol

This is the University that looks over Moscow by the ski jump. Some of you may have seen this in person. This is from the car on our way there

This is the center of Russia, I think it's the center of Moscow myself but that's what the say. People stand in the center, make a wish and throw a coin. Can you guess what the 2 women in scarfs are doing there?
