A Stroll with Friends in Yaroslavl

A relatively modern memorial And we climbed this bell tower!

Nick and Alyosha with contemporary Yaraslavl from the tower
  Two churches seen from the tower
An old gate in the historic city center.
Two Governmental Buildings in Yaroslavl's Red Square.
Alla tells about the treasures in her gallery of the city museum. Misha and Alyosha pose in front of a carriage that struck their fancy.
The Yaroslavl war memorial has young guardians.
We end our tour overlooking a special landmark called "strelka" (arrow).
Our last evening in Yaroslavl is spent with two families showing us around nearby Rostov and treating us to dinner in a local restaurant.
Our friend Alla comes to the hotel to see us off, as we leave for an overnight train ride to St. Petersburg, blissfully unaware of the chaos about to hit.
On to the Dacha
