Weekend Trip

---

This past weekend, I know my blogs are not in order, I went to Kaluga with Dima. We used my driver, but what was funny, Dima did not know how to get to Lena's (his girlfriend) flat so we he had Misha take us to the train station where we got on a bus because he knew which bus and which stop...lol I found it funny that I pay my driver to sit at the train station while we pay to get on a public bus to get around Kaluga.

The other part that was funny. Lena goes to school there so I really thought she was going to be our tour guide, which she was, all the way to the mall where we shopped for the afternoon. Not exactly what I had in mind when I said I wanted to see Kaluga, but I can not complain, I did get around the city with their help. I am not sure I will go back, but at least I can say I have been to our (Obninsk's) capital.

Kaluga is the capital for Obninsk. It has about 500,000 people so about 5x the size of Obninsk. I know it is a much older city and I am sure it is famous for something, but my "tour guides" were not much help...lol It was a lot larger than Obninsk, but if I am going to spend an hour in the car, I would rather go to Moscow.

Here are a few pictures I took as we left town.
