My ex-wife was born in Russia, and she is put to rest in her mothers home town - Vologda. This was a trip to meet family and visit her final resting place.
Denis and Julia picked me up at the Sheremetyevo airport in Moscow. It is a 450 km long drive North of Moscow to get to Vologda. 
On the way we stop at a small kafê in Yaroslavl.
The interior.
Lenin is still on display in Vologda.

Vologda 800 years 1147-1947.
The town is filled with churches. This bell is from 1685.

A typical town bus.

Tickets are cheap.
One day there was a lot of weddings in town. We passed many of the happy newlyweds. These invited us for champagne.
And they posed for a kiss.
