I walked pass the Bolshoy Theatre, and stopped to stare. It does not matter how many times I pass it in a vehicle, nor pass it on foot, it is still an incredibly beautiful sight. As is always the case, I had to stop for a few pictures.
I continued, and made my way to Red Square. Again, it does not matter how many times I walk through Red Square, I always pause at some point. I am standing inside Red Square......
The area was alive with tourists. Many workers were busy setting up for Victory Day (May 9th). The weather was beautiful, I crossed Red Square, and read the sign. Museum Closed. I guess I would have to wait for a different day to tour inside St. Basil's. One positive, as I was leaving, I was able to view the changing of the guards at Moscow's Tomb of the Unknown Solider.
Yesterday was a nice warm up for Amsterdam. I am very ready to be a tourist in Amsterdam. We have had some change in plans, our side trip to Brussels has been cancelled. Difficulty with booking train tickets, websites not accepting non-European credit cards, and my realization that I was trying to do too much in too little time, all led to the decision to cancel. Not necessarily cancel, but postpone, there is always next year's May holiday......
