We visit Mandrogy

On Monday (August 15, I'm still trying to catch up), we stopped in Mandrogy.  Mandrogy was once a small village on the banks of the Svir River; however, the original town was destroyed during WWII. It was rebuilt in 1996 as a sort of open air museum to showcase traditional Russian crafts and lifestyle.

Of course, there was interesting architecture, shopping and food......

 And Gordy posed next to the "lady" selling pies.....
