We had a big snowstorm that turned into a rainstorm yesterday, and now the whole city of Vladimir is a sea of giant puddles and rivers. Here are a few pictures of almost-spring Vladimir. I happened to catch this guy riding his horse past my apartment building yesterday morning. I'm not sure where he was going, but he picked a nice snowy morning for a ride. The next picture is on the sidewalk of Vladimir's main street and is a good view of the Golden Gates. The last picture I snapped on my walk back from the gym this afternoon. Gotta love that nice Lada rounding out the Russian scene.
