Darron planned our first Russian Road trip for the weekend after our anniversary. We were a bit nervous about figuring our way on Russian roads but we did it! Well, we did it with the help of a borrowed Russian GPS! We certainly know how to say turn left and turn right in Russian now! We lucked out and had a great weather the entire weekend. Both Vladimir and Suzdal at one time surpassed Moscow in importance. Vladimir is a town that doesn't rate a visit of it's own but is a great stop between Moscow and Suzdal. It's about 2.5-3 hours from Moscow. There were only a few things to see but we were glad we stopped. Plus, we found a nice little inexpensive pizza place for lunch. With a GROSS bathroom. But..when you gotta go, you gotta go!
The Golden Gates of Vladimir
Gross bathroom as noted above. Lovely "European style" toilet. A hole in the floor.
Cathedral of the Assumption and gardens
Cathedral of St. Demetrius
