At last we have some time to update pictures and tell you a bit about our time in Moscow. We have only spent there a couple of days before we took the train to Saint Petersburg.
Finalmente tenemos un poco de tiempo para poner fotos y contarles un poquito sobre nuestro tiempo en Moscu. Solo pasamos un par de dias ahi, antes de tomar el train a San Petersburgo.
The first day we spent several hours walking around the city. I was glad to find out that Russians are not as rude as people think. At the airport we even got offered to use cell phones for free so we can contact my friend.
El primer dia pasamos varias horas caminando por la ciudad. Me alegra saber que los rusos no son tan rudos como la gente piensa. Por ejemplo, en el aeropuerto un par de ellos nos ofrecieron sus celulares para poder contactar a mi amigo.
The city is more beautiful than I thought. It is also pretty quite compared to other capitals of the world that I have been to.
La cuidad es mas bonita de lo que pensaba. Tambien es muy tranquila comparada con otras capitales del mundo que he visitado.
I can tell now that Russian do drink a lot!!! it is a daily habit... to give you an idea, they don't even consider beer to be alcohol! I guess if it is not vodka, you can drink even in the morning!
Ahora puedo decir que los rusos realmente toman y un monton! es un habito diario... para que te des una idea ellos nisiquiera consideran a la cerveza como alcohol! la puedes tomar incluso en la manhana!

We spent an afternoon visiting the Kremlin, it is really impressive: huge and fulll of color.
Pasamos una tarde visitando el Kremlin. Es realmente inpresionante: gigante y lleno de colores.
In the square there is the Church (or Cathedral) of Saint Basil which is a unique piece of art, extremely beautiful... it is ancient but it is very well preserved up until this day.
En la Plaza Roja esta la Iglesia (o Catedral) de San Basilio, la cual es una pieza unica de arte y extremadamente bella... es muy antigua y se conserva hasta la fecha muy bien!
From the Church you can get a pretty view of the Red Square. We couldn't see Lenin though, it was the only day that such building was closed 
maybe on our way back to Moscow we'll see him, or whatever is left of him.
Desde la iglesia se tiene una vista muy buena de la Plaza Roja. No pudimos ver a Lenin, ese era el unico dia que cerraba el mausoleo Tal vez cuando regresemos a Moscu lo veremos, o lo que sea que queda de el.
Updating this blog takes a really long time. I hope you guys won't mind that it is a work in progress...
Soon enough I'll be able to update pics from Saint Petersburg... stay tuned!
Actualizar este blog realmente toma mucho tiempo. Espero que no les importe que es un trabajo en progreso.
Pronto podre poner fotos de San Petersburgo... mantenganse conectados!
Fi- the pictures are beautiful, and the blog is very well written. I've always wanted to see Moscow, now I can visit it by proxy through you. :-) Looking forward to your St. Petersburg entry!
