Congratulations, your eyes are viewing the first picture I've posted on this blog. I hope this to be the first of many, many of my own talking. As we speak I am looking into purchasing a nice digital camera to take to Russia and record as much as I can for one country travelers stuck back here the US. This particular picture is one of Vladimir (pronounced Vla'*de*'mir). It looks pretty cool, pretty beautiful. You can even see at least two beautiful churches, two of many in Vladimir. Don't be surprised by the lack of snow, it only snows from November to April.
