Touring Tomsk



We went on a bus tour of Tomsk later in the evening.  Tomsk is a city of over 500,000 people and despite the cold weather (-17 C that day) and deep snow (two to three feet on the ground that won't melt off till the end of March) people were out going about their business just like we do on a normal work day here.  This is the town square that shows up on the weathercam of Tomsk that is on the WVVIM site.  There are giant statues of Grandfather Frost and the Snow Maiden and several ice sculptures.
