the Lavra

Just this last weekend, Tonia, took a bunch of us girls out to show us the Lavra. (which is a church, underground, in caves) CRAZY CLAUSTROPHOBIC! anywho.. They had the tombs of Munks down there, & they were mummified & put in Glass Cases! AHHHH! we could see some of their hands (Black & small & dead looking), But it was really, really amazing! we learned quite a bit... so, here's some photos:

 We just came out of the Lavra & you have to have candles when you go down. BECAUSE.... there's no electricity down there. so in order for you to see, you must have a lovely skinny candle. & to show respect we must wear our scarves over our head! a very fun experience. 

 A very big church that we had the opportunity to go into for a service, & let's just say it's not the same as an LDS sunday. (very cool to see)

a different view of the city... it's so big and diverse. 

Alrighty-O, 

It's getting past my bed time! goodnight,

& sleep tight!
