This weekend five of us (Joanna, Kelli, Brooke, Youngmee and I) went to Murom, an ancient town in the Vladimir region which dates back to the ninth century. We went for the purpose of meeting with students from the Murom Institute of Vladimir State University. We had a long round-table session with a large group of students, during which we talked about a wide variety of topics. We were treated to several delicious meals, put up with wonderful host families for the evening, and treated to a tour of the city's historic sites in the morning.

Hi Jane,
(To what Melissa said)
Haha....I guess your way of story telling makes it interesting plus for me it gives a chance to read about Russia in way that otherwise would not be possible....keep up the good work.....and one more reason is you update your blog pretty often.
Well... in a mere 37 days I will be blogging about Waycross and neighbors stealing my electricity and so on.....
