River Walk with a difference

It's not every Monday afternoon that you get to walk 2.5 kilometers along a frozen river, so this was special!

It was an amazing experience walking all the way from the church village back to Podolsk along the frozen river. It is quite wide in places. We saw children playing on the slopes along the banks and having picnics and fishing in holes in the ice. People were skiing and walking along the river. It was very interesting to see a the town and the village from a different vantage point while the river is still frozen. It seems to be a place where folks come to play and relax.
