Hi everybody!
The walk I want to write about happened on Wednesday last week. On that day, I drove through several regions by car and was able to walk in several cities.
I wrote down this walk by the hour in my diary and today I want to publish this entry in the community.
In order to be in time everywhere, I had to leave the house early.
The first settlement on my way is Pavlovsky Posad. The city left a good impression - clean, a lot of buildings of the 19th century.
But I did not stop at Pavlovsky Posad, but went further!
I went to the highway "Volga". On it I had to drive 180 km.
8:30 am
I arrived in the village of Bogolyubovo. This village has an ancient monastery and a 12th century church.
I did not go to the monastery, but visited the old church. The road to the church lies through the meadow. From the car park to the church you need to walk 1.3 km
To take this photo, I went to the river and saw a snake there. I am very afraid of snakes! I quickly ran towards the path, waving my arms, and dropped my bank card from my phone case. Noticed it missing after an hour. It is good that there were no tourists in the vicinity of the temple early in the morning. I was very scared, but I returned to the lair of the snake and found everything I had lost!
10.00 am
From the village of Bogolyubova I went to the city of Ivanovo. On the way, I stopped for lunch and ate a cold soup. It was very hot outside and cold soup in this weather is the best food.
At 11.30 am I crossed the border of the Ivanovo region.
The city of Ivanovo has been the center of the textile industry since the 19th century, so I decided to look into the shopping center, which was advertised as a wholesale and retail center for Ivanovo textiles.
I didn't choose anything at the mall, I drank coffee, took this photo....
...and went for a walk around the city. True, the weather was not happy! +33С.
Ivanovo is not only the center of the textile industry, but also the city of the first Soviets. The main attractions here are associated with the 1917 revolution.
I do not like revolutions, so the era of the first quarter of the twentieth century is not interesting to me. But I had a city tour downloaded to my phone and I walked a little along the route.
I won't describe everything I saw. This is a topic for a separate post. But I want to show an example of the architectural style "constructivism". House - Ship. It may not be visible in the photo, but this house resembles a ship in its shape:
04.00 pm
From the city of Ivanovo, I went to the city of Kostroma. Distance between cities 85 km:
06.00 pm
Arrived at the place. She moved into a rented apartment:
The apartment is located on the 8th floor. I like high floors. They offer beautiful views from the window.
08.00 pm
I sit on the balcony, drink tea, look at the sky and think whether to go to watch Kostroma in the evening, or go to bed. I'm tired for the day.
10.00 pm
Still, I went. Kostroma is a northern city. Now here are the white nights. I walked around the city a little and looked at the sunset.
I barely made it to the apartment.
Today I drove 500 km and walked almost 30,000 steps. Just a little short of a personal record. My personal record is 30703 steps per day
