While in Moscow I did a bit of touristy stuff, as I don’t go home often, and it’s been a while since I’ve been to some of these great places!

Red Square!

With my friend Leeza in front of a wall designed by famous Russian designer Simachev.

A house where great Russian poet Alexander Pushkin lived.

My little cousin cooling off on a hot day in her backyard.

No matter what anyone tells you, there are no bears walking around in Russia!

This summer I went home to Moscow to visit all the friends and family I haven’t seen in a while. It was nice to just hang out at home and relax as well as to do a bit of sightseeing and going out!

a little village on the outskirts of Moscow.

While walking around we discovered a bunch of wild poppies growing in a field. That’s an unusual thing to see, as poppies are illegal to grow in most countries!

My brother and I went jogging on a filed near our summer house for a little exercise, and to our surprise found cows, horses and geese hanging out there! We literally did laps around them
