We began our sightseeing at the Kremlin. To the left is a picture of the main entrance.St. Basil's Cathedral was built in 1555 and is probably the most recognizable of the Russian sights. When Sam and I were working on houseplans, Brannon drew what he called his dream house. Oddly enough, it looked very similar to this!
In the spirit of "when in Rome..." , we have tried eating at a couple authentic Russian restaurants. We very much liked borsch, which is a cabbage, potato and tomato soup. We also tried their meat dumplings...uh...didn't really care for those. For breakfast, we ate Russian pastries that must have had 4 times the calories of a good old Krispy Kreme. Too rich! So finally for lunch, in an effort to find the familiar, we found a McDonald's. Antonio told us that the McTasty was quite "tasty"....uh, well...not so much!
