Our first day in Moscow started for Susan at 8am. Aunt Vera was already awake in the kitchen, so they talked for awhile waiting for everyone else to wake up. We had decided to visit the Kremlin, Red Square, and St. Basil's Cathedral. A few things we wanted to see (like Lenin's Mausoleum) were closed, so we decided to return the following day.

We had lunch at Sbarro's (which ended up being more expensive than expected) and then, since it was such good weather, we set out for the lookout point from which you can see all of MOscow stretched out before you. It was a long hike up many stairs, but it was a lovely view. From there, we took our tired legs home for another relaxing evening.
