Summer in Moscow has been wonderful! We are sorry that it has been so long since we have posted anything on our blog. I guess we have been busy and enjoying our time here. The weather is amazingly pleasant. This is a park that we walk through on our way home from church on sunday. Often there are Grandpas showing their grandchildren remote control speed boats on the lake--this one is really fast!! Moscow has many beautiful parks to enjoy and they stay green because of the frequent rain storms. Sometime we get caught without an unbrella and get a little wet while walking home.
These pictrues are taken at the Leo Tolstoy Estate which is located about 3 hours bus ride from Moscow. Then we rode a small van a few miles out of town and walked about 1/4 mile to the Estate. The top left picture is a memorial we passed on our walk to the Estate, on the right is a large pond as we entered the Estate and adjacent is the actual spot where Leo Tolstoy was buried. Just as he wanted it to be, with no names or markers, just a private little plot.
