After seeing and hearing about AFP’s trip there, I’ve been inspired. It’s a beautiful country and Russian boys are just too cute :)

I have become a bit more serious about this idea of late. I’ve even decided that I might learn Russian later in life.

I just simply love Russian musicians and writers. I want to visit the places where these extraodinary individuals were born, raised and lived their lives to the full. How amazing and inspirational!!

I had always dreamed of going back to my great grandparents’ country and was able to fulfill that dream with an opportunity in May 2008. It was one of the most awe inspiring times in my life (although Moscow is considered the most expensive city in the world and I can understand why). First, it was the first time in my life where everyone could pronounce my last name (Russian origin) and all of the dinner reservations were put under my last name (people who have Eastern European last names and live in US regions that are predominately English/Irish I think can relate). Second, I was able to have all the “home” food my grandparents made when I was growing up and haven’t had since they past away. Lastly, to be able to visit the churches of my grandparents and being struck by the beauty of them made me so emotional that brought me to tears (I even brought the Russian Orthodox Cross that my grandmother gave me as a child on this trip).

I would love to go to Russia but i am fearful of not knowing the language and getting mixed up in something and thrown in a russian jail or something! I always think that it is a dark and scary place but idk? Any insights from those of you who have been?

I went to St. Peterburg and Moscow on a 10 day cruise. My favorite place was definitely St. Petersburg, especially the Hermitage museum. They have artworks there that I never knew existed. I also attended a ballet performance

Moscow was like any big city. Of course you have to visit the Kremlin. I would like to go back and visit some of the out of the way villages along the way between the two great cities.
