I need a new hobby.

We spent last weekend in Novgorod, a strangely cute town (ugly buildings, interesting layout). Upon our arrival, we were immediately carted off to begin a tour of the Kremlin, the center of the town. Our tour guide was long-winded and spoke slowly, but our boredom and disgust quickly turned to delight as we noticed the people around us: men and women dressed up in medieval clothing. After further examination, it became clear that these people were not hired by the town and were not dressed as such for money. Rather, they walked around the Kremlin, posed against statues and in various "medieval" positions, and took pictures of each other. Best. Hobby. Ever.

The above picture doesn't quite do their outfits justice, so here are some close-up images:























Note the medieval cell phone.
