Moscow - cold, grey but always another new neighborhood to discover
It was cold today - that winter kind of feel. Fortunately all that came down was rain.
Another hair cut day - same place - another new cutter - another new adventure - hard to make my cut look bad..................and it grows.
After I was looking good I headed off for the day.
Moscow has some similarities to the Twin Cities - a river winds through both and it defines where things are and how you get around. The Moscow River is everywhere and impacts how you get from A to B just like getting from one side to the other in Minnesota.
The grey and gloomy weather certainly seemed to reflect all the action in Rochester Minnesota. On Thursday they checked my mother into the hospital to get her and her heart back on track.............after pounds of water and many hours of sleep, in the hospital, they sent her home for the weekend to come back on Monday for the next round of upgrades. That can take the gloom out of a long grey Moscow weekend!
So far my winter experiences here have all been grey and gloomy - but has kept the extreme cold out. I assume that if it goes in to the world of horrible cold, like Minnesota, it will be bright and sunny.
I have to work on the alternative route to walking - a couple tram rides can get me there - have to find the ticket booths first!
I had a few battery problems today so lost some things and upon review not sure the grey gloomy day reflects the interesting neighborhood near Kievskaya - but expect I will be back that way again one day so you can enjoy from another perspective.
Abbey - like 5 - 7C here today.........getting colder and colder.
