TWO DAYS IN THE CENTER OF MOSCOW (continued, p.2), warmed slightly in the warm currents of air conditioning underground shopping center, which is located near the Kremlin, we went on a tour of the Kremlin itself, which contains palaces, churches and official residence President of Russia. The interior of the church shook her beauty. We were a little thrilled by the fact that you have reached where it was made so many decisions that affected the lives of millions of people on the planet. After the tour we took a long walk to Red Square, then called us in for dinner. Even before coming to Russia, we were warned that Russian cuisine is not so tasty and so we were pleasantly surprised that this was not the case. The only thing I could complain, it's monotony. Every time we fed soup, chicken or pork. Red Square in the evening after dinner we went to the theater to see the ballet "Giselle." Inside the theater was 40 degrees and the sweat was pouring a stream of dancers. Despite the heat, performance was excellent, and the places we were so close to the stage that we could see the expressions on the faces of the dancers and to understand what was happening on stage. At the exit from the theater, we received rebuttal to popular stereotype that the Russian - the people of a dark and serious. On the street I tried to recreate some of the dance steps, which caused hysterical laughter of an elderly Russian woman. After the ballet we went to the bar "Propaganda" to drink a little vodka. Then my husband Al and a few others went to photograph the night the Red Square. Red Square during the day next day began with a tour of Moscow subway station, some of which were similar to the great subterranean ballrooms, chandeliers and adorned with statues. About an hour fermentation at different subway stations, some of which was an echo of the Soviet era, we have returned to Red Square to visit Lenin's mausoleum. The inscription on the shirt: "Moscow never sleeps" It took us an hour to get there, but we are not able to see much. Somewhere in the shadows stood guards, who are not allowed to talk and asked people to take his hands out of pockets. Look at Lenin was a bit strange. If we examine, we could see the dark patches around his fingers and spots on his face. In the room where he lies, we ran for 30 seconds, and then sent back to the heat. Tatiana proudly tell about the Russian part, which put the body once a year (apparently, he was much better than the Romanian staff, because their embalmed leader does not look so good), but in his new suit vested every three years. Tatiana also said that it is possible in a short time Lenin will be buried next to his mother as he willed. Perhaps this will happen over the next five years. Tsar Cannon After the mausoleum, we went to the Armoury, which stores various precious things of the rulers of Russia: the coach, Faberge eggs, wedding dresses, crowns and other heads of state gifts. The exposition is staggering for its wealth, however, the heat and lack of air did their job, and we dreamed of was to get out as quickly as possible. Tsar Bell From the Armory I, along with other tourists in our group went back to the hotel. E also went into the museum space, which, apart from the fact that all the inscriptions there are only in Russian, was very interesting. Evening of our last day in Moscow we spent at the bar watching the finale of the World Cup in the community of businessmen and prostitutes. The capital of Russia - a wonderful city, we would like to hold it a little more time. Moscow is not a European, like St. Petersburg, and maybe not so beautiful, but in this city there is a feeling like you're in the heart of Russia. We would love to stay here for another week and would study it as best we can. Spassky tower Further our path lay in the town of Great Luke, who was merely a convenient stopover on the way to Riga. There we had a good evening, enjoying a drink and park near the lake, and trying to make the mosquitoes ate us alive. At the border crossing took us 3.5 hours, and we were back in Europe.
