Garden Ring
Friday, September 26, 2008
Moscow is a wheels-and-spokes city designed with concentric circles around Red Square. The metro also has this design. Roughly above the circle line of the metro is the Garden Ring, a multi-lane highway that features very few gardens.
Today I wanted to walk around the whole Garden Ring, but after about six miles (half of the circle and some wandering down side streets) my feet were done for the day. I did take some interesting pictures, but next time I’d prefer to walk through real gardens.
I bought some thicker inserts for my shoes. They’re not Dr Scholl’s, but they’re better than nothing.
