our destination for that is a little gem of a place quite old that sits in the shop corner of the volga river it's actually the coach on the straight is even out of the terribles favorite location so we're always bats is good as we could see watts for existence. is most likely to be visited this part of the boat trip the approach into the towns with the most memorable sights of the cruise along the volga. and as the town lies in the shot bend in the river here that's where it's name is said to have come from google in russian meaning cooler. is located two hundred fifty kilometers from the russian capital regarding ground transport you can get here by train and bus taking various routes but the best way is by cop it takes around four hours as central colorful reflects off the river it's a fairy tale picture plus

a location ideal to snap happy tourists. move into centuries old houses and streets are amazingly preserved here but at the same time is not just an ancient town it's a very modern place too we have done a lot to develop infrastructure for tourists there are several new hotels many restaurants and cafes and most importantly interactive museums to go students a population of just around forty thousand it's a small but well known town in fact it's one of the oldest in russia a local tradition but since origen nine hundred but it was founded by prince describe it for the first documents they said. as eleven forty seven either way it's very very old. the biggest changes were to come centuries later the soviet era brought a new stage in the development of. l.a. the foundations for many existing industries cheese production machinery and energy

outs of the first period before adding another right after the break. atlanta managed to control the match after that and eventually even the sport's wild minutes from time largely thanks to their perfect paraplegics accused in. the middle of our lines are not completely said just yet plus i decided to let a few people arrested i also tried to make some measure different plays in these game to see how they work together but one thing i didn't like is how would play well a man short of little but what conventional rush and force captain at the same roles of save the day for his side with less than two minutes a goal the goal coming off a carrot plate for the third time in this match and that was enough for the to design the darn cup holders to seal their first twenty ten victory obviously because the three monkeys. should of gave the game for all cells it's talking everything going to happen but we we got their winning goal there in the in the end

necessary for america to vietnam there was a lot of drug abuse there was a lot of murder of american officers by american soldiers there were a lot of stories. to go around by. these rules of war i always thought i wanted to limit a lot of medals are going to have a lot of desperation. but afterwards i realize that they they don't mean anything they're not that important. i don't i don't i never kept the medal.

rush is going to be so much brighter if you move out soon from phones to pressure. from the start on t.v. don't.
