• Unexpected highlight - "rock" festival 2

    7 settembre 2019, Russia ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    Off to the Museum of history of stone cutting and jeweller art- it turned out to be the best $10 we have spent for days.
    The guy on the ticket counter was so smiley and enthusiastic he was lovely. Upstairs a v scary, officious lady took our tickets and told us to go upstairs to the right- the only way despite loud music emanating from that direction.
    We got waved in to a room where there were about 8 people sitting listening to a concert of live music - Norman Bates in his dead mother’s wedding dress killing the keyboard and a man with a tambourine with the most incredible skill of not managing to hit one note in time.
    K and I were invited to sit- we couldn’t eye contact anyone let alone each other as both of us were trying so hard not to laugh.
    We stayed for 2 v long songs and a reading before politely leaving to view the exhibition we had come to see. Instead we got barked at by the pitbull woman in charge downstairs.... still trying not to laugh in disbelief.
    The malachite was the most beautiful exhibition but the rear left a lot to be desired.... not the experience we expected but the random highlight of the day by far!!
