THIS YEAR TRIP TO THE NORTH OF LENINGRAD REGION AND CARELIA Last week my boyfriend and I had a car trip to the near places. We started from Vyborg and finished in Sortavala. We attended a movie festival in the first location. Its name is "The window to Europe". Spectators could watch new fiction and documentary movies and animations by Russian directors. This works sometimes were looked raw and unfinished, but there were good things also. The next stop was "Сozy fir trees". It is a recreation center between two already mentioned cities. We spent around 3-4 days there and just had some relax like going to a wooden bathroom with a real soaring, boating and swimming in the Vuoksa River, mushrooming and breathing fresh air. It was wonderful and free time. The final station was Sortavala. We planed to visit Valaam Monastery, but it could not be done. So we only tasted different fish dishes and went to some museums. To sum up, it was a nice summer trip to feel some calmness and adventurism.
