Tsipovo, part two.

(This post has a Russian version.)

I’m not going to disrupt the photographs with my words in this post. Just want you to look at the views and take in the beauty of this country.

Before coming down to the river, I wanted to step into the church, to light a few candles and say a few hasty prayers. I will never pretend to be a good Christian, but I do have faith, and what I’ve got of it I try to keep.

The church in Tsipovo is small. This is pretty much all of it.

After exiting the church, we rushed to our boat to go to our next stop – Saharna.

Coming right up!

Summer Boat Trip.

(This post has a Russian version.)

Back in July I went on a corporate boat trip. ‘Twas fun, though damn hot.

I’d like to say that these photos have some artistic merit, but they don’t, not really.

I believe this is Rybnitsa, but I could be very wrong.

This is a prison, I think. I’m so knowledgeable. :D

The mug in the bottom right corner is a nice touch, no?

I’ve got two more posts from the trip coming up, and I promise they’re a bit less boring.

Villa Again and Again.

This was my cousin’s bachelorette weekend, actually. But I thought titling it like that would be cheating. People would expect a mad girlfriend bash or something. We just had two quiet days off in the country. One of the members in our party was – still is! – pregnant, too. So none of that mad alcohol induced strip club brawl that was planned upon at the very beginning happened.

Aw.

You can see part one here.
