Leaving Moscow
Approaching one of the many stations along the way.
Exiting at Zvenygorod, a small but ancient town, one hour outside of Moscow
Visiting the meat store at Zvenygorod.
Just in case you need a pig head for dinner.  I've heard the cheeks are delicious :)

Approaching the village and church.
The new church.

Perhaps the original front door of the old church.
The old church; majestic and powerful.
Everything is silenced by the recent snow.
The local hound.
The gate is open to the church.
This marker shows that the church was built from 1396-1399.  The 14th century.
An idyllic setting.  Forest and fresh snow all around.
The new entry.  Inside, we found a beautiful service with song and incense.

Loved the falling gate.
The milk truck has arrived!
MILK!  and a good cow brand!
Everyone waits with their bottles for fresh, non-homogenized milk that lasts for 5 days.
Getting fresh milk, sour cream and cottage cheese is a social event!
Fresh milk from the tank, without any treatment or preservative.  Tastes like nothing in the USA!
Bringing fresh milk, sour cream, and cottage cheese home.

Mya Karoleva!
A beautiful gateway to a quiet home.
Frozen berries!
Another beautiful home.
