This weekend we took advantage of Moscow celebrating its 870th birthday. For the occasion they shut down one of the major streets down town and put together a huge festival that was a mix of sports, food, replicas of famous moments in history. It felt like walking through a massive children’s museum. Much of what was shown off had an interactive component mixed with some very skilled individuals showing off their skills.

Little did I know that Moscow was so old.

Because the Metro stations never get old.

Guy dressed up as a cross-country skier, because winter isn’t long enough here.

BMXers waiting to hit the jumps.

Women dressed up in period piece wear.

It looked like they were simulating a movie being filmed.
