Volga Impressions

In Russia there are many beautiful places – it's a fact! But the most beautiful on the Volga. And by the way, not only in the summer, when the Volga sparkles in the sun and you just can not tear his eyes from her fascinated. In winter the Volga also has its own charm. She sleeps – cold and majestic. But it's lyrics, of course. But its truth in this. Volga – one of the most beautiful rivers in Russia. Perhaps for this reason, many go on vacation to relax on the Volga.

Vacation on the Volga now quite popular. The benefit of the recreation center on the Volga can be found without much trouble. Of course, this raises the question of price and quality. I would like an optimal combination of these parameters. But here, as they say, to your taste. One can only advice.

We rested on the basis of "Forest Story." The place is very beautiful and has something to do, despite the fact that the rest of the Volga we went in the winter. I can not speak about the living conditions, the service – it's all on a high level. Say a few words about how we have been rested. In general, skiing and skating badly does not love, but there are places beautiful – to look something like, a foot long. That had to ski to go around this beauty. Understand how miles had covered only when the number back, just not at the hands of a number made. But the emotion was positive weight! I tried to go fishing story, but a meditation on fish is not very impressive. I prefer an ice rink and slide. Escaped with only a couple of bruises, but it was fun. Naturally, after a cold bath in: steam. With brooms! And cultural activities – pool, restaurant, etc. In general, I can say that this is one of the best recreation centers in the Volga, where I was. You can argue, but it is better to evaluate yourself.

Pyramids

What is in the middle of the desert was carved into the rock giant lion with a human head? For what was to build grand tombs, many times surpassing grandeur and luxury of the palaces of the rulers of living? What is the riddle of the Sphinx and Pyramids? There just was not made assumptions about it. 'Soldiers of forty centuries look down on you' – Napoleon Bonaparte said, bringing his army to the Egyptian pyramids. It was a powerful rhetorical move, and, most likely, he great boost morale of soldiers and the work went up (their self-surrender). But the soldiers reacted to the new age of forty centuries of history, without any respect and, just for fun, shot from the guns of the ancient Sphinx in For millennia, guarding the rooms of the dead. That is what happened to the opening of Europe's ancient Egyptian civilization.

Of course, for this country something that was known before. But it was only after Napoleon's Egyptian campaign, when the As the trophies were taken to France numerous antiquities, Egypt engaged in the study seriously. But back to the sphinx and pyramids. What is in the middle of the desert was carved into the rock giant lion with a human head? For which was to build grand tombs, many times surpassing grandeur and luxury palaces of the rulers of living? What is the riddle of the Sphinx and the pyramids? There just was not made assumptions about it. For example, what Egyptians – descendants of the ancient civilization of Atlantis.
