To Moscow we go
We were up early and ready to get out of this dorm. 5 days with no hot water for a shower had done us in. We had 4 hours on an extremley bumpy bus to look forward to. It was raining when we got to town but we were so happy to see our nice motel we didn't care. We quickly left on the shuttle to the bus to get to down town. We had to ride a bus for about 45 minutes and then take the metro for about 30minutes to get to Red Square. First we got out to see the Bocho Theatre, the headquarters of the KGB and a famous hotel where lots of spy stories have taken place==like James Bond and Jason Bourne. There were lots of people out and about on Monday. We got into the Kremlim and saw the churches where all the Tsars got their crowns and were married. We also saw the church where they all are buried. We got to hear some monks sing and it was beautiful. We then went to find Obama nesting dolls and lots of the girls and guys bought them. From there we went to Arbat St. It's a cool long street with lots of shops and places to hang out. We shopped for about two hours and finished up all the gifts we needed to buy for people. We then we to see the world's largest Mc Donald's before we made our way back to the hotel. We were ready to get packed and headed home.
