Return from Red Square


We just got back from our tour of Red Square. It was very informative and interesting. We saw the Kremlin, Lenin's tomb, St. Basil's Cathedral, Goom (a famous mall) and many other stores along the way. It was pretty cold outside but we were warm except for our faces. Our tour guide really knows her Russian history. She knows way more about Russian history than I know about American history, very sad. She also filled us in on the Russian Orthodox religion and the meaning of all of the russian holidays. My brain hurts from information overload!=) My body hurts from walking many miles, I'm so out of shape.
Anyway, that's the extent of our day so far. Tomorrow we will leave the hotel for the airport around 5pm. Our flight leaves at 9pm for Kras. I'm so excited to get closer to our boys!
