June 16: Staraya Ladoga (ladoga means lake) was a day trip for us. We took a long drive out to these viking burial mounds by the river and had a picnic. Most of the tutors came out and cooked us shashliks (basically skewered meat). It was pretty good. We played frisbee and sat out in the sunshine. The weather was perfect. We saw a married couple getting pictures. The Russian custom seems to be that when you get married, you go with your wedding party all around the city and get your picture taken and drink champagne by all the big monuments. It looks really fun and like something I might do for my wedding (where ever it may be). Pictures will be better than words in this case. Picture 1 is of one of the viking mounds. They were mass burial places. The second is of the most attractive couple on the trip- me and Justin!! (we're not dating, so don't get all stressed out peeps!) But yeah, we are quite photogenic, right? The third pic is of all the tutors and teachers working on making lunch. The last one is of people playing frisbee. Enjoy!
