Rooski Inc.

Along the Volga, Nikki feeding the birds, with some lovely Indian ladies from Chicago that we met. Soon after, an announcement came across the PA system. "Lady and Gentleman. Please do not give food to birds. Birds shit all over deck. Thank you for co-operation". Very direct these russian PA announcers.
A fort at the mouth of one of the inlets. Or rather part of a fort.
We stopped at Goritzy, and went to the renowned Kirillov-Belozersky Monastery, founded by Saint Cyril in 1397
Very nice monastery indeed, in a lovely setting
Way to go Cyril!
