Behind the 7-day tour of the Golden Ring, which I was going to childhood. For participation in the quiz of the magazine “Pioneer” received a parcel with books-souvenirs-candy. Among other things, there was a large commemorative medal with the coats of arms of cities. "Golden Ring" on the obverse, on the reverse side - a route map that I called for the road. A lot of water since then. It has flowed where I have not had to go, what not to see and in my own home, and far beyond, but the medal gleamed in the bookcase, reminding me of a childhood dream.
