Hat trick...
Jan. 30th, 2009 08:58 amI'm sitting in traffic in the back of a car somewhere on the Sadovoye ring road, with sirens moaning all around me. The pulsating cacophony sounds like a chorus of some great herd of wounded beasts. We're moving, but slowly.
Ben M. invited me to accompany him out to the cosmonautics museum near Ostankino, next to VDNKh, but it turned out to closed for renovation. Then we visited the market at Izmailovskiy Park, but most of the booths were empty (and the vendors who were there tended to be tediously aggressive).
We had a nice lunch - plain but filling - at the market, then set off across town for the Borodino museum, which is closed on Fridays. Aaargh!
Still, it was time well spent.
We're out of traffic and not far from my destination.
Cheers...
