Days 1 – 4 Once we were in Moscow, Kathy visited the tourist sites which I had already seen when I went to the Soviet Union in 1986 with Grandmothers for Peace. These included the Kremlin with its red brick crenelated walls and 15th century towers; the State Armory filled with valuable jewels and a photo – op of St. Basil’s Cathedral with its many multi-colored domes.
Day 5 – That night we attended the Moscow Circus which showcased trained bears, cats, dogs, elephants and even a hedgehog and porcupine in addition to clowns and many daring acrobatic feats as well as choreographed dance routines.
