Before you read this blog post, I just wanted to bring to attention that my cousin John lost his fiancee in a car accident. He is obviously devastated, so if you remember, please pray for her family and all mine as well. John if you get a chance to read this, and we are so sorry and words can't do anything in this situation,please know that we are praying for you .
Wendy and I had a chance to explore some of the city finally. We found the river front and the Kremlin which was quite fun to see. The weather here is beginning to get cold here and Wendy often longs for the hot Portland temperatures.
WENDY IS A GOOD PHOTOGRAPHER, SHE IS EXPERIMENTING WITH THE WIDE OPEN, FLAT RUSSIAN LANDSCAPES HERE.
THIS PLACE IS CALLED ПЛОШАД МИНИНА (PLOSHAD MININA) IT IS ONE OF THE MAIN SQUARES OF TOWN.
WENDY AND I WALKED ON THE WALL OF THE KREMLIN. MOST EVERYWHERE ELSE IN NIZHNY IS WEED INFESTED AND OVERGROWN. HOWEVER, THE KREMLIN IS NICE AND PRUNED AND SPOTLESS.
WENDY AND I DOING OUR JOB WATCHING FOR INVADERS. WE HAVEN'T YET SEEN A PAYCHECK FOR OUR WORK THERE, BUT I GUESS THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT DOESN'T REALIZE WHAT IMPORTANT WORK WE ARE DOING.
THIS IS A SLAVIC CHURCH INSIDE THE KREMLIN. WE WILL HAVE A POST LATER JUST ABOUT SLAVIC CHURCHES. THEY ARE VERY BEAUTIFUL.
THE KREMLIN IN NIZHNY NOVGOROD IS UP ON A HILL. IT MUST BE THE BIGGEST HILL FOR LIKE 60 KILOMETERS BECAUSE IT IS SO FLAT OUT HERE.
WHEN WALKING DOWN THE WALL WE CAME ACROSS THESE PEOPLE PANTING. I THOUGHT "WOW THEY MUST BE OUT OF SHAPE." THEN WE TURNED THE CORNER TO FIND THIS MASSIVE SET OF STAIRS.
