  4. What a beautiful place. I love the first photos of the water and the soft colours. Then the bright colours of the children's clothing. Thanks for sharing and have fun! Hugs, Pamela

  5. How beautiful and serene it looks. Hard to imagine there are such tranquil spaces in such a populous country. Sweet children.

  9. We loved this city too - spent an entire day walking - from the ship, through the indoor market, up to the cable car for the ride. I loved the street with several temples and churches, including the tiniest Russian Orthodox I'd ever seen!
