Troitse-Sergiyeva Lavra

Troitse-Sergiyeva Lavra is a very beautiful place. It's an old Russian monastery. It is situated not far from Moscow and it is easy to reach it - a very comfortable bus leaves every 5 minutes.

Kolomenskoye

Last week I have my vacation. I visited Moscow where I found many beautiful places.

One of them is Kolomenskoye. It was a village in the past, an now it is a musium of the Russian architecture.

The Church of the Icon of Our Lady of Kazan (or the Kazan Church) built in 1644-1670’s has survived to the present day.

The Church of the Ascension, built as a palace church in 1532, is the earliest and the most significant of Kolomenskoye’s buildings.

My dear cat

This is my cat Pasha. He is so funny!
He never goes outside alone. Sometimes we go for a walk but he always sits on my hands afraid of everything )).
His favourite delicates are olives. Sometimes he becomes angry and bites me, especially when he is hungry.
Anyway I love him very much.
