Some Pictures from Kotlas and Arkhangelsk

The plane flights from Arhkangelsk to Kotlas are only twice a week.  I like the "porthole" windows on this vintage plane.  You load your own luggage on and off the plane in the small Kotlas airport.



While in Kotlas we use some of our time to get ready for court

We saw this spectacular, folk art inspired car in Arhkangelsk.  These flower motifs are usually painted on wooden bowls.

After the stress of court it was nice to relax for a while during a good meal.  The waitresses were patient with our limited Russian vocabulary.  The ikra and piva were excellent!  (caviar n beer) Then we got on a plane to Saint Petersburg.

A wedding custom in Arkhangelsk is to put a special lock on the bridge to the church.  You can see the couples' names and marriage dates.  There are hundreds edging the bridge.  I like the log cabin lock best.
