About 3 or 4 years ago I visited Kostroma. I went there with my family: mother, father, dog, brother and me. There we were only 2 days, but it was really interesting.
It was spring. Many rains and bad roads, but we weren't at hotel more than 1 night.
There we saw:
Cheese museum.
Chocolate museum
and Snegurochka's house-museum.
At the last day before returning home we were at big shopping center,,RIO". At the next day it was fire in it.
Kostroma stands on Volga and was founded by Yuri Dolgoruky in 1152.
