This is one of the most amazing places I have ever seen. St. Basil's. It is at one end of Red Square and I think it is pretty recognizable and what many of us think of when we think of Russia or Moscow. I am hoping to get a chance to go inside this week.
This is the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier along one of the walls of the Kremlin. Most of the soldiers looked like kids. We then went to the Armory, which is part of the Kremlin, and saw the Faberge Egg collection which you are not allowed to photograph. Amazing treasures from the Tzarist Era, horse drawn carriages preserved and on display that looked like they came straight out of Cinderella.
There are about 40 more photos online at the Picasa album I created.
I think that will make them a little easier to see. I have captioned all of them:
Enjoy!

I can't believe you managed to find Bender within a few hours of arrival. Then again, Bender is universal and knows no nation. Great pictures - spasiba!
Pozhaleesta! I turned a corner and there he was!
Укусы моих блестящих металлических осла!
