History... many people like to talk about it, study, at least - play historical computer games or watch more or less realistic movies. This Saturday we visited one of most known historical cities around Moscow. It is situated about 200 km to the SE from Moscow and still consist of big amount of churches, central castle (Kremlin) and more or less old wooden houses of people. No plants, no big buildings...
This city is more than 1000 years old and it's main churches were built about 1100 - 1300. Suzdal was much more powerful than Moscow, but history changed borders, trade roads, and "cashflow"... Many people come here to fell into middle age atmosphere for several hours.
But it is an alive city! On the July, 18th, for example, they organized traditional "Cucumber Day"... We spent 1 hour just to park a car... So, look at the album "Suzdal - Cucumber day!" to get the influence!
