Day #6: Moscow

---

Walked up to Vorobyovy Gory ("Sparrows' Hill") today. The guide book promised excellent views over the city, which we got. At the top there was this ski jump. I had never seen a ski jump in the flesh before. It's huge! I can't imagine why anyone would look at this and think it would be a good idea to ski off the top of it. Especially this one, since if you don't stop within the allotted space you ski right over the river bank and into the Moskva (note the stunning Luzhniki stadium on the right of the photo illustrating this point).

We also saw the mind-bogglingly big university building and had a lovely walk through a snow-covered park to get to the top of the hill. I imagine Siberia to look like this...)
