Your blog is so wonderful, Sol. 
Do apple blossoms and tulips come along in late May in Moscow? I'm trying to remember whether that's the same we have them in Boston.
Spring seems so long ago!

I like the onion-shaped domes on Peter the Great's father's castle.

Oh, Boston has a lot of Eastern orthodox churches

The rest of the state, not so much. Massachusetts is fairly unorthodox. 
Or unfairly so, if you wish there were more such churches.

A coworker of mine in Philadelphia was a Russian Orthodox priest's wife. They had a church in Maine at one time.
