Russia (Yekaterinburg) - Jul 2010

We had really great hosts in Yekateringburg Russia. They were really proud to show off their city to guests. They have beautiful churches there. As you might imagine, you do not see English signs like you do in other countries, they are very proud of their heritage and do not care to mimic other countries.
