Remember I told you about small trip? After we ran on Sunday (my post before shared my experience and outfit) we took time to visit bigger location, town of Volokolamsk just 6 km from the start area. The town is pretty old and it has kremlin. Sounds like a must visit if you pass by! It was first mentioned as Volok Lamsky in 1135 and it was exactly what it was called: a land transfer way for boats from one river to the others. The biggest is called Lama. As simple as that. The kremlin isn’t big and original walls didn’t live up today being built of wood. You can still enjoy the moats and brisk arch/entrance followed by narrow stairs. The inner buildings are mostly churches and the museum. I’d say you’ll need an hour and a half to explore everything in the area.
I wore new jeans. I didn’t think it would such a great fit on me. I originally tried it on as a gag. Now I barely want to take it off (traded it for a dress though). I had other things to do scheduled for the day so I am all about comfort. The top I am wearing is one of my ultimate faves because of the material, it’s a rare item for me as I have it multiple (three) colors.
This post is not complete without some sights. enjoy.

Looks like you had a ton of fun here! It's an interest place and yes, the wolf being placed by the exit is quite funny. Scaring people to stay in! Haha.

Travel is so phenomenal! It helps us grow and makes us happy. Your trip looked excellent. I am glad you had so much fun
ReplyDeleteLooks like a really fun experience checking out the Kremlin and the churches of Volokolamsk. Glad those jeans were comfortable and flexible for taking all of the pictures of the amazing looking buildings and church. Nothing worse than a tight pair of pants.

you can say that again! Comfortable jeans is everything and more!

ReplyDeleteThe place is GORGEOUS!!! I would love to visit Volokolamsk one day, that would be amazing...Great scenery.
ReplyDeleteThat wolf was a surprise lol. I love Russian architecture, especially the roofs. So unique.
ReplyDeleteI knew I should post the wolf. As for architecture such roofs are not common, mostly the roofs are flat, the similar shape for roofs is mainly used for churches. That is definitely unique.
DeleteI love exploring old buildings. This looks like a perfect day trip to take, maybe even with a picnic!
ReplyDeleteThat is such an old but still a pretty place to visit and looks like you really having a great time exploring that place.
