Trip to Vadimir and Suzdel July 18/19


My group went to the towns of Vladimir and Suzdel last weekend. Suzdel is a small town with old Russian churches, and had the yearly "pickle festival" were they had lots of good pickles and other things. I tried this Russian carbonated honey drink called Meed. It was very, very good. Vladimir was once one of the largest cities in Russia, back when Kiev was the capital (8th or 9th century). It was nice to see other Russian towns besides Moscow. It was a fun time.
