Spring in Old Nizhny Novgorod city, Russia Federation

Spring is the very good time for outgoing. The weather is good enough because it is not too hot and too cold. After finish my lunch in old town, the time was still  early and i felt very full and heavy, so I spent my half day walked around the old town. From old town , I walked up to old city wall, Kremlin. The distance is not very long, just around 4 KM. On the way to Kremlin, I could see a lot of stalls were opened on the street, such as ice cream and Kvas. Kvas is Russian carbonated drinks, must try. The old town has many Orthodox Churches, the oldest and most beautiful church is Church of the Nativity of Our Lady. You can enter every church without ticket. The design of Orthodox church is different from any church in the world,because the church is looked like mosque. After visited church, I climb up to Kremlin from Old town. There have so many old weapons were exhibited. The weapons were used during world war 2 to defend Nizhny Novgorod.
