Moscow Accomplished

Step count: a whopping 30,350! Trip record!
We woke up and hurried through breakfast at the hotel. Activia yogurt
is recognizable in any language. Then we went to the Kremlin and
walked around the Armoury and saw fancy dishes, clothes, thrones,
sleighs, weapons, an anything else they wanted to show off. We went to
the Diamond Fund Exhibit in the Kremlin and it had an impressive
collection. They let you into the room when you feel like it but have
scheduled exit times so you're a hostage until they open the door.
We walked to the Bolshoi Theater after that. It's one of the most
famous Russian ballet and opera houses. Nothing is showing until
September. Next we went to the souvenir market. I got a fir hat and a
stacking doll of Cinderella. We ate lunch there also and there was a
very cute babushka that took care of everyone.
After a short nap we met with our relatives at their home. They were
very nice people and fed us the most beautiful and delicious crepes.
There was every kind of topping, even raw salmon. We talked with them
for about three hours took lots of pictures for Jo Ellen.
Our time in Moscow has come to an end and so must this blog. 3:00 am
wake up call!
