Very cool
Love the locks....what a great idea.

OMG
That is cold! You are looking very stoic!

Wow
You guys do nothing by halves. Great pictures and story about this fascinating remote place. So....you are sitting in Churchill and you say, "Where do we go next?" and choose Yakutsk??????

Love to Travel
Thanks Guys, for share this information this very useful for me.

Privet!
Moscow - still my all time favorite place! I would have enjoyed the colder temperatures, magical. I loved the subway and of course the Kremlin, as well as Gorky park - and that song did play in my head. Did you go farther aloft? Are you taking the train? I will watch for more blogs.

Moscow during the quiet season
Probably not surprising that you guys would visit Moscow in the snow as icy seems to be your thermal norm, if your other blogs are any indication. Gotta say the contrasts of colour that result are stunning...and there's a certain satisfaction to visit when the level of tourist crowds are down. Great pics. Was this in winter and what were the range of temperatures?

Language
With my little bit of Pennsylvania Dutch I'd probably be in the same shoes as Dave if we traveled there! Made me smile!

LE MUR EST TOMBE
I remember when the Wall came down. My boyfriend and I were coming back into the US after spending a week on a French island in the Caribbean. For a solid week we hadn't seen a newspaper, or listened to a newscast; nothing but sunshine and soca music.As we boarded the Air France plane, we were offered a magazine or a newspaper to read. I picked up the International Herald Tribune, which was a couple of days old. As we settled in our seats, I noticed the headline in the paper (I think it was Paris Monde) that the guy in front of us was reading. In two inch high type was written "LE MUR EST TOMBE." (The Wall falls.)At first I thought that maybe there had been an earthquake somewhere and a wall to a large apartment building or some such had finally come down. And then it dawned on me that they were referring to the Berlin Wall. It was so unexpected and so wonderful, I could only sit there and marvel at the turn of events.

So high you can't go over it......
Greetings from Northern Ontario....thanks for posting your travels ifrom Germany. It is wonderful to travel the world with you both. Contemplating "the wall" throughout history is something we all need to do. Whether physical, symbolic, emotional, ideologic..... walls are being built. A physical wall is perhaps the least damaging! Miss you both and look forward to welcoming you inside our four walls whenever your travels bring you "home"! Lots of love, Donna (and Chris)

Inquisitive nature
Yes I agree that is one way I would describe what I know of you. Stanley sounds lovely and if we ever get there we will order the fish and chips. Love the tale of the gnomes ...we should sit in wait to see how it happens. Dave, I always look forward to each addition of your blog and wait until I can give it full attention because I know you will transport me to some wonderful and amazing place. Thank you, MJ

Merry Christmas
That polar pull, it is a vortex that pulls you north and south. We are pleased ....as we love watching your travels to amazing lands. Love to see a photo of your salt crusted eyebrows. Happy Travels for 2017.

"Wow"
Your pictures are amazing Dave. You should do a wildlife picture book.
