Myshkin town and Martynovo village
My mom is an avid traveler, and recently came to us in Thailand in Chiang Mai. In her youth, she walked all the mountains in Russia with a tourist club. Probably, this passion for travel was passed on to me from her. This is what genes do to people :) For a long time I have her article about the city of Myshkin, all hands did not reach to post it.
A one-day trip to the town of Myshkin, Yaroslavl region, gave us a lot of pleasure. 4.5 hours of travel - and we are on the banks of the Volga. It is not for nothing that it is called the GREAT RUSSIAN RIVER. Silence, immense space and unusually light air. You can't breathe! And the people in Myshkin are just as easy-going. It seems that the guide talks about the history of the city, but somehow it is fun, playful, as if he is not at work at all. No matter what museum we come to, people everywhere have fun. It can be seen that they enjoy what they do. And we saw and learned a lot in one day: we were in the pottery workshop, and in the smithy, and we went to a real mill, and everyone found out about felt boots, and we got an appointment with the mice king and queen in the palace. In general, my head was spinning, they laughed, fooled around, got drunk from the air of the Volga, plunged into the bus and drove to the village of Martynovo. Yes, before leaving, they bought Volga smoked fish at the pier, called chukhon. So then we drove to Moscow in a smoky bus.
And in Martynov we saw how the village lives in the outback, learned local traditions and customs, took part in «matchmaking», tried to speak the local Katz dialect. We were fed from a Russian stove with hot potatoes with sour cream and cucumbers and baked milk with thick brown foam .. Delicious! Someone bought home country sour cream, goose eggs, etc. The village just thrives on the tourism business!
We went to Moscow well-fed and contented. We drove and were surprised all the way: some in the provinces drink too much or flee from the villages in all directions, while others prosper, they do nothing «candy». The city of Myshkin is simply thriving, it takes 18 buses with tourists a day. Squeezed out of their «brand» mouse everything! Museums, souvenirs, mini-performances. And the entire population is in business, both young and old, all are seized with mouse fever! Maybe it means that the province will live normally if it wants to. We decided to go again, but for a couple of days and by water, i.e. by motor ship.
