Another card has been sent to Russia! Its destination
is Yessentuki, a city located in the southwestern part of the country, more
than 4,000 km away!
Did you know that Yessentuki is considered the
cultural capital of Russia’s Greek population? Even nowadays more than 10%
percent of its population is of Greek descent. Yessentuki is also famous for
its mineral springs, most of which are of medical value. It was thanks to
Anabel, an advanced 1 student, that we know these curious facts about our next
stop!

Anabel has chosen a postcard featuring the magnificent
thirteenth century statue of the seated Saint James dressed in what appears to
be a pilgrim's outfit.
Hope our friend Anastacia likes it! Thanks a million,
Anabel!
