In Moscow, we
*visited Red Square. We loved the bright colors of this cathedral.
Brandon's favorite part of Red Square was the place where they would do the be-headings. He's usually not that morbid, I promise.
*shopped at Arbot Street. It's a terribly overpriced tourist trap, but thanks to Brandon's mad Russian skills, we were able to barter down and get some souvenirs for over 60% off.
*ate at McDonalds. It was the craziest place I have ever seen! I will never complain about waiting in a fast food line again.
*traveled in the most beautiful subway in the world. All the stations were built of marble and columns. We wish we could have taken some pictures of it, but given that 10,000,000 other people use this as their way of getting around, it just wasn't going to happen.
*saw the Bolshoi theater. Direct translation=large theater. Russians are pretty creative in their titles.
*ended the evening by visiting Red Square one more time at night when the GUM shopping mall was all lit up. It felt like Christmas!

This post was pretty much what we did in Moscow!! Even with the McD's.
ReplyDeleteRed Square was fun. We were sad that the main cathedral was under construction, so our pictures were not that good. (And the fact that we had disposable cameras! HA!)
We loved the subway! So, so pretty. The escalators were forever long going down!
There was also a really nice park we would go running in. I wish I knew the name!
