visiting tolstoy's house

On october 20th 2011, I visited the tolstoy's house. Tolstoy is a very famous writter in the world. It was a very good chance to visit his house and  see his desks and chairs that he used 200 years ago. The house is located in tula which is quite far away from the moscow, therefore I needed to leave early. I woke up at 7 o'clock and prepared everything for going there and I met my friends before I went there. It took almost 3hours to go there, me and my friends ate the lunch and we bought the ticket at 2:00 p.m .

 We could not enter the house with out a guide, so we paid money for the guide and we traveled as a group of 15. Actually, I'm not good at russian but the guide could only speak russian, so it was quite hard to understand russian. But one of my friends was good at russian and she translated it for me. The grave of tolstoy was quite small and too simple. There was no decoration or something.

There were some learning outcomes from this activity. First, It was my first time to understand the explanation of guide in russian so I can say that I had undertaken new challenges, also I have planned and initiated activities.
