From Russia with Love

Hello,

finally got to a computer, but I'm on a time limit so I'll make it quick.

Our flights went fine, except one hockey bag didn't show up in Moscow, so that was the only real hitch.

Since we got here new years eve, it would be a sin not to do something interesting, so we went to the most interesting place around: Red Square.

For the new year they had a concert which was quite cultural, it had some singing and dancing from different Russian people groups and at the stroke of midnight was capped off by Vladimir Putin's yearly address to the country.

Today we went out into the kremlin and checked out what was there. It is made up of a bunch of different cathedrals and there was a museum with various artifacts from ancient Russia ranging from royal garb to weaponry. We went through the red square again, and went home. Tomorrow we leave for Perm on train, and we'll go check out a local market as well.

That's my Russian experience in a nutshell (россня) <- Russia in Russian....

Arrivederci.
