Update: still backpacking

We're still on the road working our way across Russia, but we're getting near the end of our backpacking phase and we should be settled in St. Petersburg in the next week. We didn't make a lot of stops across the country - it can get a bit too hectic packing up and leaving every 24/48 hours and distances are quite large in Russia. Instead, we narrowed things down to a few key places:

Ulan-Ude
Arshan
Tomsk
Vladimir/Suzdal
Moscow

Lots of onion domes, lots of icons. In a week or so we'll start putting up a few posts with photos.
