Day in Moscow






After arriving on the train, I sat in the van that picked me up for six hours as we picked up others who were coming in on other trains. A quick evening meal and then a good night's sleep.
We left for the walking tour of Moscow at nine in the morning and did not return until six in the evening. During these nine hours, we took the Metro to Red Square, toured the Square, the Kremlin, The Armory (their national museum), saw the changing of the guard, shopped for souvenirs and then had a reception at the US Embassy.It was fun to meet the Russian teachers who will be traveling to the US in a couple of weeks. When we returned home, we had not sat down for the whole nine hours and we had walked and walked and walked. What a day. You can see from the pictures that it was an amazing experience.
