Today was an off day for us, the first of many during this final week in Moscow, so Hannah and I decided to venture out into Moscow and see something new. After lunch at 2:30, we went on a quest to find Gorky Park (also called Park Kultury). This was tricky because the Park Kultury metro station is currently closed for renovation (whether or not this has anything to do with damage from the previous metro bombings, I don't know). So we wandered off the metro at Oktobraskaya and picked out the visible landmarks of Gorky Park: roller coasters. (Russian roller coasters, just dont' ride them.) Gorky Park was created in the 1950s and still is absolutely beautiful! The park itself is about a mile long, so it's safe to say we didn't make it all the way through. But what we saw was very pretty and well worth the leisurely stroll on a warm/cool summer day.
We have a massive conversation class project due tomorrow, so I'm going to hop off the internet now and go do my work. Wish me luck! Finals are almost over!
Love and hugs to all!
