Moscow - the long short week















A three day work week - but certainly the longest three days I have had in some time. Cold winds blowing all over.
Fortunately, with over 10 million people there are still streets I haven't wandered and discovered what they have to offer. It was a bright sunny day which let the additional coolness sneak in. And there is always a breeze, if not a gust, from the north to let you know it is only going to get uglier.
A sunny day, no matter how cool and windy, is enough to get me out and wandering for most of the day. Once on the street you have to pay too much attention to not being hit by vehicles to have anything else on your mind for balance of the walk.
As a walker in Moscow, you have to understand that the cars will hit you - no regrets. If you think they are looking for you or will slow down and stop - it means it is your first day here. A good way to get your attention completely focused!
