their faces with dew [dju:). They believed this made them
beautiful for a year after that. Also on May Day the
young men of each village tried to win prizes with their

Not so long ago, the whole family visited Moscow, the capital of Russia. We decided to go there because there are many attractions that you can visit. We arrived there in the morning. We decided to visit the Maxim Gorky Central Park of culture and recreation. Entrance to the Park was free. The Park is located in a beautiful location on the coast of the Moscow river. The Park has many sculptures, fountains and attractions. Most of all, I liked the best Playground in Moscow, consisting of ten sectors, where it will not be boring to spend time not only for kids, but also for teenagers. In Gorky Park, we visited the Muzeon art Park, an open — air Museum of sculpture and paintings in Moscow. The Park was huge. Most of all, I liked the monument to Peter the great, which stands on the Moscow river. I really enjoyed the tour of Moscow, we will definitely go there again to see other attractions
