quick stop in central Moscow

I didn’t think I’d have any time to see Moscow on this, my first trip to Russia. (I’m headed all the way to Perm in the Ural Mountains tonight.)

But turns out I had just misread my itinerary. There was a 7-hour layover, which was plenty of time to get to the center of Moscow by train and metro.

Very nice atmosphere in the center of the city. Lots of public space, family-friendly, and people generally seem in a good mood down there.

Don’t have a camera with me, so this is what passes for photography while trying to hold a MacBook Pro at a level angle.
