Kizhi Russia

Kizhi, Russia is an Island located in the North Western part of Russia.  A bit closer to Europe.  Beautiful setting, lush grass, old churches.   Yes, I said old churches.  These churches and buildings on this Island date back to the 15th century.  Worth a trip if you ask me.

Strasbourg, France - Truly Beautiful

So, I recently made friends with someone on Facebook from France.  They told me where they were from and I instantly had to look it up on Google.  Needless to say, I fell in love instantly.  The scenery and beauty of this town in France has me appalled.  France may very well be my first stop in Europe.  If not, it'll be my second or third stop.  Depending on how early I go to Europe and how many countries I have time to visit.  Here's a few photos of Strasbourg, France to show off the beauty behind the magic.

I've seen mmorpg games with these kind of buildings.

Now I know where they got them from.

If this isn't enough to want you to go.

Then, I don't know what is.
