Russian Estate

First off- I found an awesome website- EnglishRussia.com... check it out.

Here are a few pictures of an old estate in Russia that was destroyed by a hurricane this past August. I thought the image of a Russian house destroyed might give us something to think about when we're look at the sisters home. Obviously the house wouldn't look like this, but maybe this is what Masha sees?
