This weekend I wasn't present because we went on a river cruise/weekend getaway to Uglich. It was so much fun! We relaxed on a deck, explored new town, ate without worries or thinking, watched movies, read books and played video games on our Nintendo Switches. If you ask me, I was super relaxed and happy with this little trip.
Uglich is a small town in Yaroslavl region. It has long history but it's mostly famous for being a place of death of the last tsar from Rurikovich dynasty (the first of Russia). Unfortunately the town had lost of fires and military destruction so there are not much left of it's early history. However classic Russian churches are present in big numbers and river Volga takes a very beautiful turn there. The oldest building of Uglich (or Ouglitch as they sometimes write it with latin letters) is behind my back on the first photo below. It was a part of original living quarters of the ruler. It is made of red brick, with tons of little details, it looks pretty impressive.
I wore roomy jeans, flip flops, a silk scarf to add some warmth, tiny uniqlo anti-wind jacket and Pirosmani studio t-shirt with necklaces (actually these metal pieces were fashion show invitations but I kept them wear as a statement necklace). It actually was a bit chilly there (colder than the forecast told) so I wore pretty much everything I had off photos.

ReplyDeleteLove your Topshop Jeans. It may be old but looks really hip. I can imagine wearing one myself. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing with us your experience at Uglich.
Nice post. I learn something more challenging on different blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice a little something from their store. I’d prefer to use some with the content on my blog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll give you a link on your web blog. Thanks for sharing.
