On and on ran the train through the tunnel and at every station people came in and
out. The trip gave the Wilsons a good impression of Moscow’s immense size.
When they came up into the daylight, they saw the magnificent building of the
University that is situated on the Vorobyovy Hills and from there they enjoyed a most
beautiful view of the whole city.
They went for a ride in the city. The size and the beauty of the capital made a
great impression on the family. They saw endless streams of busses, trolley busses
and cars in the streets, crowds of people walking along the pavements. They crossed
the city in different directions but to their great surprise they saw the same thing eve-
rywhere: well-planned streets lined with trees, many-storied houses, big stores, hotels
and beautiful squares. They saw no contrasts between the central part of the city and
the suburbs.
The Wilsons went sightseeing every day of their stay in Moscow. And before
their tour came to an end they had seen and learned a lot of interesting things about
the capital and the country. They liked Moscow and Muscovites who are so hospita-
ble and friendly.
