Alice :: Russia MAY2009
In spite of the outbreak of Influenza A (H1N1) worldwide, we still proceed to Russia at the end of May 2009. The 8-day trip covered visits to Moscow, Sergiev-Posad (Zagorsk of Golden Ring) & St. Petersburg. We had drizzle when we were in Moscow for the first 3 days. Then, we were welcomed by the sun in St. Petersburg.
