Exploring Russia on foot


My husband and I traveled to Russia last month. We visisted with friends that live in Moscow and ventured off a bit on our own to other parts. We felt especially adventurous since my vocabulary consisted of only 10 Russian words and we weren't encountering many English speakers in Moscow. The heat wave that has hit Russia and other parts of Europe had already begun. The idea of running in the heat and smog was unappealing and cycling seemed too much like an extreme sport with the Moscow traffic and crazy drivers. Workouts consisted of LOTS of walking. Even navigating the metro system involved LOTS of walking. No wonder so many Russian women are slim!
