Entrance to Red Square 


I believe this is the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

This is considered the center of Russia - yes, I know geographically that is impossible. You stand on this spot, make a wish and throw a coin over your shoulder. I have not done it yet.

I was debating on going to McDonald's but decided to eat in the Gum Mall. Fried chicken and potatoes (which were quite good).

This was a sign in the restaurant. I need to figure out what it says.

This place is quite beautiful. It is very expensive shopping!

Saturday was Valentine's Day. At first I thought that is why I was seeing girls in wedding dresses. However, I have found out that it is a tradition for newlyweds to get their pictures made at tourist sites around town!

Shopping in the metro. Mom had asked me about shopping in the metro. This is in the underground cross at my metro.
I made a snowman on my balcony! I used straws for his arms, eyes and mouth!

Like that snowman. He needs a hat and a pipe!
Gee Whiz Michelle!.. Sure wish we were with you. Looks like you are having fun with all the sights & sounds of Moscow. I've sent a few of your posts & pics to friends and colleagues. You are becoming quite the writer. Nancy and I are both very proud of you. Keep your notes and turn them into a book before you come home.
Love, Danny & Nancy
Thanks Whittles! I appreciate your kind words! Anyone is welcome to come visit me in Moscow, mind you Russia is not the easiest place to get in!
Yes, I have had several comments about my writing - I guess I never really had to use writing to communicate with the world. I enjoy telling my stories.
I know you will be in BG next weekend. Mom and Dad are sorry they will not be around to see you.
Take care!
