Russian Folk Art

After going through the Kremlin we walked through the surrounding gardens. We walked under a fountain, and past a stream-like fountain pond sporting a series of sculptures depicting famous Russian folk tales.

Into the Woods

On Saturday we met up with Leyla's friend Marina in the birch forest south of Moscow for a shashlik outing. Now all those fairy tales started to feel like they were coming to life. Marina's friends were friendly and not wanting in wit. After waiting impatiently for a while deep into the woods for some other friends to join us, I took out my notepad. "You see," said one, "they're starting to make out their wills."
