Exploring the city


Within a church ^^^ and I really shouldn't have taken that photo (even though I was standing by the door at the exit -- so as to flee quickly). The risks I take for you dears...

The Library, which I didn't enter. I need to figure out where the entrance is, and if I'm even allowed to go inside.



Kolomenskaya Park:








Food vendor:


Novy Arbat (the New Arbat) street is all about modernity. It stretches on endlessly and is full of flashy casinoes. Speakers pump English and Russian music into the streets.


Hey, I think I'll go feed the ducks ... Oh. So, the ducks are gone. The pigeons seemed happy though.

Makdonalds. This one was once the busiest in the world.


Wall mosaic with dishes in the wall:


Yeliseyevsky's is a grocery store. Rather nice decor, wouldn't you say?




Stary Arbat (the Old Arbat):




Sign outside of a McDonalds:


Russian books are quite cheap here. There are lots of vendors selling new and used books just like this one.


Kievskaya metro station:

We appreciate the risks, especially the churches (remember that time we wished for a quick getaway in NYC . . . ^_^). Grocery shopping looks anything but boring!
