"Winter Camping"
We started out the semester with one of the coldest winters
Russia has experienced for years with temperatures reaching -40
C in the Moscow area. Tzippy Rhodes '07 and I accepted an
invitation to a Russian wedding in the woods. We had an all
around authentic Russian time camping out in the snow.

"Pokrovananerli"
The 12th century Church of the Intercession on the Nerl - my
favorite Russian church in the heart of Russia's golden ring.
Unlike other famous churches, it is not located in a city, but
is a 2km walk from the road.

Clothes on the line: I went hiking for a week in Provence with a
French organization. It was just me and 9 French strangers, most
of whom were in their thirties, but it was a lot of fun and I
never would have been able to see this sunset without a guide.

Smiling fun people: I turned 21 in late April and was feted by
my friends in the program. I even received a rose from one of
the guys who worked in the bar. |
Selling flowers: May Day is my favorite part of French culture;
everyone gets the day off, and anyone can sell lily of the
valley in the street. People buy small bunches for a euro or two
and give them to their friends. It's one of those days where
everyone is in a good mood. |
