It
seems Moscow has a never ending 'supply' of Lenin statues. I hope to
see all of them, but I don't know if such a goal is reachable. I don't even know if they're all marked on the map. On
this Tuesday afternoon I decided to knock one of them off the list.
It
wasn't exciting, as Lenin statues are almost never 'exciting' but I
saw it, and took the photo to prove it. Maybe one day I'll write a blog post with nothing but Lenin photos.
As I
walked back to the metro station I noticed a church, so I ducked
inside there to see what the inside looked like, just because I
could. Why walk past a church if I don't have to?
Once I
got back on the metro, I rode to the station closest to Pokrovsky
Monastery. My last visit to the monastery ended up being 'foiled' by
long queues of people waiting to go inside the churches, I was hoping
this visit would be different.
Unfortunately,
it wasn't any different this time. There were more queues, argh. I
have no idea why. Is it a Tuesday thing? Or did I just get unlucky
and choose two Tuesdays that were holidays/celebrations I didn't know
about?
On the
way back I noticed a sign on the gates of the retro transportation
museum that said the museum was still closed for renovation. I didn't
even see a date on the sign, so who knows when that will open again.Mostly
a failure day in terms of seeing anything, argh.
