Last Saturday it was warm out. So we bought some cheap rollerblades and went to Gorky Park. It was a strange amusement park, carnival, meets typical European metro park from the Soviet times.
The Entrance.
Our friend Dema joined us.
An old, out of use Ferris Wheel (one among many strange rides)
Us
Soviet Shuttle (actually been in space)
The gang
Gorilla Vas
Camels in Russia are totally the norm around here
Abandoned pirate restaurant entrance
Me and the Green Man (my parent's will laugh at this)
Peter the Great on the Mockva River
Vasya my Great on the Mockva River
It's still slightly chilly here. There is a constant crisp breeze that makes a thick sweater/jacket a must. But the sun is out more often than it is not. The sun is perfectly blue, the grass and leaves are bright green and the sun doesn't go down until about 10 PM.
Also, a trip to The Cathedral of Christ the Saviour which is the tallest Eastern Orthodox Church in the world. It is situated in Moscow, on the bank of the Moskva River, a few blocks west of the Kremlin.
Picture shot down the river/street, you can see the red wall of the Kremlin in the distance
A shot turning the other way (notice Peter again)
Me and Alexander II
Wild doggies playing outside of the metro downtown
Oh and I found my comfortable place here in Moscow:
