On Wednesday's Russia Day holiday, my friends and I drove to the little town of Yuryev-Polsky, a little town north of Vladimir. It's an old town--founded in 1152--and there are some old churches and buildings in the town.

In case you're wondering, "kremlin" means fortress in Russian, so there are kremlins all over Russia. The one in Moscow is the capital-"k" Kremlin. Anyway, here are some pictures from our trip:
