🌿 I don't remember the first days of March being so warm in Moscow. It almost feels like late April. It's still cold at night but the sunrises are absolutely stunning! Everything is awake. We've already swapped our shoes and coats for lighter ones, and quiet a lot of motorbikes have appeared on the roads.
