Lots To Do

I leave one week from today.  Still lots to do.  A friend gave me a lot of stuff for the little man.  I greatly appreciate her generosity, now I have to find a place to put it all!  That, with packing, getting his bedroom and playroom ready, child proofing, etc. I'm busy, but it's all good.  

Going to the Yankees Opening Day tomorrow, should be fun but cold and damp as a winter storm approaches tomorrow night.  It will be a good way to get me in shape for the cold weather in Russia.  Happy Spring!!!

Sokolniki Park

I took a short walk today to check out the area.  I discoverd a lot of stores, a mall and Sokolniki Park.  The only problem was, it was freezing out.  It is so warm inside that you go out thinking it's not that cold, big mistake.  It was about 10 degrees Farenheit when I went out, as I said it was a short walk because my legs were freezing.  Tomorrow's walk will include long johns!  Anyway, here's a few pictures that I took on the walk, there are only a couple from the park, it is huge so I'm sure I'll get more later this week. 

This is a church on the way to the park. 

 

These gates are at the entrance to the park. 

As you walk into the park, there is a row of ice statues, each one with different flowers frozen inside of it, makes you think of Spring.

I read somewhere that the turn the entire main walkway of the park into a skating rink.  These skaters were enjoying themselves, walking across the ice was a challenge!
