Dinner in Dmitrov

The Friday before last, your correspondent here and this blog's chief writer and photographer had dinner (in the sense of lunch) at a cafe in Dmitrov.

Above is the cafe Cherry Orchard so named after a play by Chekhov.

The cafe is located in Dmitrov, which is a city some 100 km north of Moscow, and its terrace opens on to a view on the Dmitrov Kremlin, and a "kremlin" is basically an old fortified center of town, a town fortress, typically going back to medieval times.

In this case, it dates back to the 1100s!

Anxiously awaiting to be served whilst still enjoying the view.

First course is an Okroshka soup which is good for summer as it's a cold soup.

Then I had "Late Breakfast" fried eggs with tomatoes and cheese and an Olivier salad also known as Russian salad.

And lastly, a dish of potatoe pancakes with sour cream.

Views of the city of Dmitrov.

Countess O.D. Milyutina's wooden house built in the late 19th century (the 1800s) and is about 130 years old.

Views down Zagorskaya street.

Sovetskaya Square.

Dmitrov shopping mall as viewed from the old fortress mound (rampart).

On the right is the earth rampart or mound protecting the old Kremlin built in the early 12th century.

960 meters long and 14 meters tall, it supported some wooden fortress walls and was once stormed by the Mongols in the early 12th century... almost before Britain was a country ) and 600 years or 6 centuries before the US of A.

Toilet facilities at the cafe.
