Day 3 - Dmitrov and surrounding areas

We spend a little more time on the bus today, with a trip to a large supermarket and then out to Dmitrov (where DokaGene is located).  We visited a dairy farm and toured some of the vegetable growing areas in the river plains that supply most of the food for Moscow - corn, cabbage, carrots, onions, and more.  We were also able to visit an unbelievably beautiful new golf course that's being built outside Dmitrov (photos were a little restricted because it's not open yet, but that's our group in the lot below).  Our procession of about 10 electric golf carts toured all 18 holes and even got to get some tips from the British golf pro on the course! Allan Parker guided us down to a wonderful pedestrian mall where we had a delicious dinner outside on the patio of a nice restaurant with a string quartet busking classical music on the sidewalk nearby.
