"Guys I have something to tell you. I am slowly becoming blind and yet their's still so much to see. I don't know what to do," Tatiana said sadly. Elena and Michal knew just what to do to help. "We'll take you to our home countries so you can remember their beauty!" Michal said.
First they traveled in places in Tatiana Volosozhar's home country, Russia. They visited museums in St. Petersburg and learned of some of the history. "I didn't know Russia was the first country to launch a man into space on April 12th,1961!" Elena exclaimed.
"Russia had equal rights before America?" Elena asked Tatiana in amazement. "Yeah the women were granted suffrage in 1918."
Equal Rights Equal Rights
Equal Rights
Equal Rights for Russian women!
They traveled from Russia to Estonia, Elena Glebova's home country. She acted like a tour guide saying things like, "Did you know that their are over 1000 islands, 1000 lakes, and 7500 rivers in Estonia?" or, "We Estonians were the first people to use online voting!"
"What's that big cross statue?" Michal asked. "It is the Estonian Statue of Liberty. At night the glass is lit up so it glows for everyone here in Tallinn to see!" Elena said proudly.
They continued to walk around Tallinn. "Everyone seems to be speaking something close to Russian," Tatiana noticed. "They are. The Estonian language is a cross of Finnish, Latvian and Russian," Elena told them.
Finish, Latvian, Russian
From Estonia the friends traveled to Czech Republic, Michal's home country. He then took on the tour guide role as Elena did in Estonia.
"Wow! Look at all those mountains!" Tatiana said taking pictures. "Aren't they cool?" Michal asked. "Czech Republic is almost entirely surrounded by them!"
When they were finally done looking at the mountains they walked towards Prague for some ice cream. Michal pulled out some paper bills resembling money. "Our money here in Czech Republic are called Korunas," he explained. They grabbed their ice cream and celebrated the awesome places they had traveled to. Tatiana was grateful for all the sites she had seen.
