Its a super good thing we can read Russian, its close to Bulgarian and alphabet is almost the same we get along fine, or it would take much longer. All signs are in Cyrillic.
After a nice hot shower and getting ready for the rain and cold, we headed out to the red square. We hit up the National state museum which wasn't to bad but again everything in Russian. They had some good stone tools and clothes from the 1800's which were neat to look at. Next we walked out to the cold so we headed to the GUM store which use to be the old communistst state store but how has all the high end stores, so we walked around and looked.
Came back and washed clothes and made supper. I forgot how nice it is to have clean, dry (they had a dryer aka only the 2nd time in 2 years) clothes.
Today we headed out to another church, it was cold and rainy so it made today long with the fact that we walked around for over 6 hours. We went way outside the city on the metro. The metros are super nice, they have pictures and marble. Then we went to a convent so more church type things. Last after a quick dinner, we went to the market where yes I bought a fur hat and little Russian doll, everyone was closing so it was hard to find and really buy stuff. Then we went to the Vodka museum where they talked about how it was made, and the history of it with pictures, and a bunch of bottles. Some was in English so that was nice for a change. At the end we had a shot of vodka, mine was honey with pepper it was good.
So far Russia is everything then I ever thought it would be, fur hats, vodka, little dolls, police and Russian military in all major places in even the hats, cold, foggy, onion shaped churches, gold, so we will have to see if it keep it up.
