Sightseeing in Ekaterinburg

 After the Audit Training - that went really well - we had the afternoon to sight see.  We walked from our hotel to the Church of the Blood - where the last Tzar and family were killed. Along the way we found this School - gymnasium - being old PE teachers we took pictures of it.
 Ekaterinburg is 280 years old - Irkutsk is 360!  There are more old cement buildings here than in Irkutsk - more wooden ones in Irkutsk - it seems to us.
 Elder Smith and the Old School building...yes it was cooler than we were used to in Irkutsk. Elder Smith checked the weather there and we brought warmer clothes!
 This is an old dam - and behind it the City Pond - still mostly iced over.  In the center of the picture you can see the golden dome of a Church - that is the Church of the Blood..we are on our way there.
 This is a very old wooden water tower.
 This house is huge - takes up almost a whole city block!

 We decided you could play hide and seek and never be found!!
Funny 'bush' musicians!
