Moscow to Kiev


The Bolshoi Theater


Our flight to Kiev isn't until 4:45 so we have the morning around Red Square. We found that the square was closed for some special delegation when we arrived. We skirted the square to take a look at the Bolshoi Theater, ran through the street vendors, and watched the changing of the guard at the tomb of the unknown soldier. We spent the majority of the time in the Russian State History Museum which covers from pre-history until 1917. The best part was seeing some of the museum rooms which were decorated similar to Russian churches and palaces. After lunch in Gums, we headed for the airport for our flight. We made it to the Radison only a few blocks from St. Sophia's about 7 PM.
