Last Saturday in Krasnoyarsk!

For our last Saturday here we decided to hit the streets and see as much as we could on foot. We walked from our apartment across a pedestrian bridge to a small island on the Yenesey river. After that we stopped at our favorite coffee place to warm up and drink a cappuccino. We happened across a large bookstore and spent some time in there perusing and were able to find a beautiful photography book about this city written in both Russian and English (score!). After that we found a museum and spent time wandering through there. It was now about 3 o'clock so we found a place to grab some lunch then headed back home. It was a fun day seeing some more sights and learning about the beautiful city and culture our daughter comes from.

You'll be so glad you captured Krasnoyarsk in photos! I'm glad your time together has been so fun and full of incredible memories.

They do love the boots! I still don't know how they walk in the snow in high heels either!
Glad you soaked up the culture there for your daughter. I actually was very sentimental as we flew away from our daughter's region and her birthplace. God's providence and plan still amazes me! Praying for you all!
