Merry Christmas to us! While santa was visiting our homeland we decided to go exploring. We left on Christmas morning (after we had our omlets) and visited Ismylovski Park. Then after finding the bazzar almost empty we decided to visit Red Square. Jim chose the metro stop. He figured it must be the one translated to mean Revolution Square. He is getting so good with his Russian! It was so exciting to be there. We saw St. Basil, a big ice skating rink made just for the season, Lenin's tomb, the GUM department store, Father Frost and his granddaughter the Snow Maiden and much more. A most memorable Christmas day!
Entrance into Red Square is through the arches in the back.

We thought you would like to see a REAL Babushka. She is not wearing the traditional scarf around her head because she has a new hat (stocking cap). She must be happy because most babushkas don't smile!
