A fragment of the film about the Land of Pskov, "where Russia begins"
* * *
Selecting a few weekends in July 2018., we went to the Land of Pskov, epic is where Russia begins!
5 days of "little vacation" we have planned: Pushkin mountains, Pskov, Izborsk and Pechery.
We had a wonderful relaxed soul, enjoyed the vastness of the Russian fortresses and monasteries a thousand years, the earth is imbued with Pushkin's poetry and Russian folk tales!
Who have been watching the film already knows that we are always travelling celebrating their family Holidays is our good old tradition! We do not have in the family a better gift than the gift of TRAVEL!
As said the beloved mark TWAIN: "Only two things we'll regret on deathbed - that little loved and little traveled" and Ivan Bunin said, "people make happy three things: love, interesting work and the opportunity to travel".
This will be our film!
