Yesterday we were on the road again, this time to visit the city of Suzdal (the next stop, going east, on the Golden Ring) and the town of Bogolubovo to see the many 12th century churches. Inside the St. Euthymius Monastery of our Saviour, there is this belfry (pictured at left) in which one guy rings all the bells on the hour-- we were there to see/hear it at noontime. It was amazing! Also, we got the chance to hear "business monks" (as our guide referred to them) sing a capella inside one of the chapels. It was tear-inducing beautiful! On the clock face (next to the belfry pictured), there are no numbers-- in early times, church slavonic letters were used to represent the hours on a clock.Below is a picture of a this cute little girl in a scarf picking flowers. I noticed her as we were walking into the Suzdal Kremlin (kremlin simply means fortress)...
