What a busy weekend! I'll try to catch you all up as best as I can...I returned home late last night from our trip, and will leave tomorrow at 6:15AM for Saint Petersburg! Plus we had a full day at the School of Dubna today, and then toured a Art School and Music School. Whew! My experiences from the School of Dubna will have to wait for another post, because I know you're all anxious to see Moscow!
We traveled by train early Saturday morning from Dubna back to Moscow. Anna A (exchange teacher to La Crosse) was our guide for the day, and we were happy to have help navigating the crazy subway (Moscow Metro)!

| This escalator went down what felt like about 3 stories. It was so steep I had to lean in order to not fall over! Moscow has a very elaborate subway system - more people travel in it every day than all of the population of New York City!! |
 |
| Our first view out of the subway. Hmmm... |
 |
| The Bolshoi Theatre. Incredible! |
 |
| Then we crossed 10 lanes of one way traffic. Did I mention that Moscow is gigantic? |
 |
| This circle is the absolute center of Moscow. The gate behind me is the entrance to Red Square |
 |
| My first view of St Basils, with Anna leading us in! |
 |
| The State Historical Museam |
