Sheremetevo Estate

   Yesterday we had classes then toured the Sheremetevo Estate across the street from us. basically it was just a giant party house where the first Duke of Russia threw parties. It would have been really pretty if the weather wasn't so gloomy. After that we were free and I just stayed in the dorm and watched some of Tangled then went to bed early. Our hot water just turned on!! I've never been so excited for hot water!
     Tomorrow we are leaving at 6:30 a.m. by train for Tula to visit Tolstoy's estate for the weekend. Unfortunately I will not have internet access at all this time and will not be bringing my computer with me. However, I will be back Sunday night.
