Byron and Christy stayed at a hotel just one subway stop away from us. The hotel complex was build to accommodate athletes during the 1980 Moscow Olympic games.
We met early and headed to the Red Square, exploring the city without a map or a plan.
From an outside table at a McDonald's, we had a partial view of the change of guard near the eternal flame, honoring unknown soldiers. At the square in front of the Lenin's mausoleum, preparations were being made for the June 12 celebration of
Russia Day.
Moscow is a beautiful, historical city but its always fun to see a familiar object repackaged.
Love padlocks are placed by newlywed couples on Luzhkov bridge, we've seen at least 30 couples taking pictures and celebrating.
After a few hours of walking it was really nice to take a boat excursion on the Moskva river and Lilya had a chance to practice translating, even though it was more funny than informative (the translation).
