"From Russia With Love"

Lately Russia has come top 5 on my wish list of countries to visit, mostly because of the lovely postcards i've received, and cause i've been learning a lot about that nation.
This is another lovely card showing another really great monument. Seems to be the most important russian monastery - Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius in Sergiyev Posad, 70 km from Moscow.
It's a compound holding great churches, cathedrals, towers and tombs. The detail on the right corner shows the Holy Spirit Church, and the Holy Fountain(?).
This huge place has been classified as UNESCO World Heritage cultural site, as of 1993.
I really want to go there some day when i visit Russia, right after Kizhi Island :))

Got this cutest thing today!!
Coming from Russia, of course, the best things have been coming from there :)
Want to thank Diana for choosing this lovely thing to send me as an official, it made my day.
As far as i know, this is a mushroom on the Boletus genus, but not sure on the specific species.
If i had to guess, it seems to me it might be a Boletus edulis, the commonly known 'Porcini', very appreciated in gastronomy.

Another Moscow view from the same collection, this time an official ;)
A closer look at the Kremlin Palace.

Moscow View

Coming from a private swap, my dear friend Nastya chose this inspiring view of Moscow to send me. To the right you can see the Kremlin, and Christ Saviour Cathedral in the far back-left.
