I still do not claim to have seen Russia.
Moscow
in May is a great time.
It’s nothing like the cold, gray city that we
see in the Borne Identity movies.
This would start with learning to navigate the
Moscow Metro.
Moscow is famous for its underground.
Including the amazing "La Ronde des Prisonniers" by Vincent
Van Gogh.
While
the Pushkin Museum is a art lovers must, the Kremlin is on the list for
everyone!
The morning started with
waiting in a very long line for tickets into Kremlin.
There we tried to
buy tickets for the State Diamond Exhibit.
We were told to go to
another line.
"I cannot say." Egh.
We were would have to wait at least an hour.
But could
not wait in line until they started selling those tickets.
Remember,
the Moldovan’s first language is Russian.
Well, once we got tickets we
had to find the hole in the wall entrance.
That was fun too.
As someone once said, the State Diamond make the British
Crowne Jewels look like K Mart.
After
my trip to St. Petersburg, I had quickly developed a distaste for
Russian food.
Did
you know that the world circus is Russian?
Do you think that Cirque du
Soleil is a distinctly French Canadian thing?
Well the Moscow Circus
are the origins of the great North American touring act.
