Pokrovsky Hills



Here are a few snapshots of our new home and community.  We live with mostly other expats; Brits, Australians and Canadians.  There are lots of Americans working in private                  industry, embassy and military.   We also have some Russian neighbors.  The Anglo American School is attached the compound.  The school is a great facility, K-12 with a nice gym, pool and elementary library that we have access to.  Next door we have large "Lesapark", basically a large wooded area with a pond and lots of trails.  There is a water spring in the park that the Russians are convinced has medicinal/healing properties.  We always see people of all ages lugging water in large jugs home from the park.

  1. Waterview Lane, right? I lived there Aug. 2004-Dec. 2005, fifth and sixth grade at AAS. Do they still make the ice sculptures every winter? Walking through 3ft high snow drifts to get to school is something that I will never forget, no Ms. Robertson's fifth grade class of 17 kids, representing 11 countries. Living there was an amazing experience.

  2. Living there would kind of feel like living in a birdcage. Great place for sleepovers and house parties though.
