Moscow in a Weekend

This is a very brief glance at the beautiful city of Moscow. We saw so much in so little time, but I loved this place!

Part of the Kremlin


The Bolshoi Theatre



Izmailovsky Market (A huge outdoor souvenir market)
















Maslenitsa Celebration- a Russian holiday celebrating the end of winter.


At this celebration, men climb poles bare handed and play tug of war.






There is also a burning at this ceremony... and lots of Blinis!

State Museum~in Red Square









Saint Basil's Cathedral. This place was absolutely breathtaking!


The group: Me, Frances, Janna, Sabrina, Marina, Michala, and Andre.




Cannon balls that are behind Saint Basil's.









Lenin's Mausoleum.


GUM. This mall is beautiful and has much history to it!







Krispy Kreme was right in the middle of Red Square.
