Day 70: Home yet not

The first token is of the Peter-Paul Castle in St Petersburg, Russia.  That castle is the building on the left in the token. Then the Bronze Horseman is the other significant part of the token. Commissioned by Katherine II (the Great) to Peter I (Peter the Great).
The second token is also St Petersburg, Russia.  There is the sphinx because there are a number of sphinxes on the banks of the Neva River in St Petersburg.  Then I would guess that the building with multiple spires is 'Hram Spas na Krovy' or 'Church of Savior on Blood'.  That being the very iconic Russian Orthodox cathedral in St Petersburg.
Token 3 is the Bronze Horseman again from St Petersburg Russia.  Written on top is "city of white nights."  Then below is "and water bridges."
The 4th token (which is on the second row) is this guy.  On top it says St Petersburg.  On bottom it says the guys name which is Auguste de Montferrand.  He was the primary architect for St Isaac's Cathedral in St Petersburg and for the nearby Alexander Column.
The 5th token is St Isaac's Cathedral itself.  On top it says what is on the bottom which is Saint Isaac's cathedral.
The 6th token is the other side of the third token.  As you might be able to tell it is another depiction of Saint Isaac's cathedral.  Then on top it says "City of White Nights" and on bottom "and water bridges."
The 7th and 8th tokens are the same tokens.  Just different sides.  I got the tokens at The Museum State Museum of Fine Arts which is in Moscow.  The token celebrated 100 years of the museum in 2012.  I don't know who Edgar Degas was.  But according to wikipedia he was a French Artist.  It might have been that he had some pieces of art in the Museum.  I don't remember.
The last token is a metro token.  It was good for one fare on the metro in St Petersburg.  In Moscow cards were used instead.

Day 69: Uinta Wilderness

Once up on a time I went on a hike in the Uinta Wilderness.  On this particular hike we kind of, somewhat followed a stream/ river.  It wasn't too wide or fast moving.  This particular place on that hike was where we were going to stay the night the next time we were going to do the hike in a week with a bunch of scouts.  So to pass the time I decided to throw big rocks in the river.  This way there would be a walkway across the river.  There is no need for the walkway but I provided one anyways.  I finished the dam and by the time I went back with my camera it was dark and so I didn't get a good picture.  Or at least a picture where you could see what I was trying to take a picture of.

So the next day, I went back to the dam and took a picture.  Like I said before it wasn't very far away from where we stayed the night so it was easy to do.  I don't know that dam is the right word because all I did was move rocks from the bank of the river stream and put them in a row.  The purpose was not to dam up the stream at all.  Oh the things that are done to have fun out in the wilderness.

Day 68: Vilnius

Here we have the Old Town Hall building for Vilnius, Lithuania.  It was pretty sweet because the hostel that we stayed at was right by here so we knew that if we found this building then we were close to the place that we were staying.  For a more comprehensive history of the Old Town hall click Here.

George W. Bush made a statement in 2002 that was then put on the wall of the Town Hall.  The statement was "any one who would choose Lithuania as an enemy has also made an enemy of the United States of America."  I believe tour guide said that President Bush made similar statements in Estonia and Latvia.
You can see the Lithuanian flag displayed proudly in Lithuania. Go for the yellow, green and red.

Day 67: Moscow

This is the Cathedral of Christ Savior.  It is in the middle of Moscow not very far away from Red Square.  The cathedral was really big though.  We didn't go inside.  I do not remember why but we didn't go inside.  It probably cost money or we didn't have enough time.  Either way it was really big.  The outside was still really cool to walk around because, you see in pictures below, the outside was also very well designed and it is a piece of work also.

There were some cool lights, that we didn't get see turned on because we were there during the day time. Also the depiction of Christ and his disciples.  That is pretty cool.  Link to Wikipedia article.
