Our tour started with the changing of the guards and a tour of the Kremlin, the Armory and the Churches.
The Armory is now converted into a museum complete with carriages, gold armor and costumes from the Czars. The church mural showed all foreigners and Europeans going to hell-only the Russian Orthodox to heaven
St Basil’s actually has 9 churches inside.
We visited Lenin—he’s still there. The strangest thing is to see the brides visiting the mausoleum.
Lunch at McDonalds
We had another evening with the hookers. John liked the blonde- with cascading locks and a madonna-esque quality (he particularly liked the long dress- with the slit to her waist and nothing underneath).
Moscow is a mystery—the most expensive city in the world—but who’s making the money?
