This is a "love tree" where couples engrave their wedding info and using a small padlock attach it to the "branch" of the tree.

Sight from the outer castle walls looking down at a park (which we later walked to and Joe and I sat in the swing next to the river.)

Little park along the road.

Joe and I with other missionaries went to Narva, Estonia July 29 to renew our visas (we have to leave Russia every 3 months to renew them.) It is nearly a 3 hour drive from St. Petersburg.

Narva is a cute little town right on the Russian/Estonia border. While waiting for the stores to open we toured the outside of the castle (we toured the inside last November in which I published pictures then). We also walked along the river that separates the two countries. It was a very beautiful summer day and the heat was cooler than the near 90s that we've had in St. Petersburg. After the stores opened we went to the one that sells A&W Root Beer and Dr. Pepper. The store also carries other named brand items from America and a lot of the food that you can read the label in English.
