After three days of the big city we were ready to move on to our next destination. We took a twelve hour train ride with Daniil (our Russian friend) and Christopher (Brendan's brother) to Pskov. It was an all night ride, and we were able to sleep through the night in our cabin. Our first stop was to Daniil's family's house. They were kind enough to make us breakfast and let us wash up. They live in a house with a huge garden and lots of animals, which isn't very common. Most people live in apartment buildings. We hired a driver to take us around for the day. One of the places we visited was a monastery in Pechori. We also visited a castle in Ivborsk and took a boat ride around the lake. It was really green everywhere.
