June 29, 2015 – Some Scenes from Around Red Square Today

Todd, Heather, Nic and Kristen took off from the hotel to explore Moscow this morning. Everything that we want to see is walking distance from the hotel, although they will no doubt ride a few stops on the Moscow Metro just to check out the beauty of the stations there. They will likely go to Gorky Park as well.

And certainly Red Square, which is right across the street.

Here are a few scenes from our area today.

Meanwhile, still in Russia but far, far away on Mount Elbrus, Vladimir sent us this picture from a few days ago of our “Barrel” on the mountain. A lot of snow this year! We will be on our way tomorrow!
