We joined some friends for a leisurely daytime cruise down the Moscow River. It was a great way to say "desvedanya" to Moscow. We saw all the sights during our one and half hour cruise, from Kievskaya train station to the famous monastery we never visited, to Sparrow Hills and its bicyclists and ski jump, and on past the cathedral, the Kremlin and to the Stalin Tower where Alison and I couldn't find each other last week. Boat traffic on the river is sparse, and the river is wide, so it was quiet out there.
It is heavy pollen (aka Pukh) season, and even on the river, we couldn't escape what seemed like a snowstorm of the stuff.
From the river, we took a taxi to the Goose Pub, where two geese honk out greetings to everyone who enters the restaurant.
Then we came home and packed. We leave on Thursday.
