There is definitely something different about Moscow. I would say that I liked St Peter's better. Its a nice place, and everyone is friendly, its something about the buildings. Mom you may not like this news, but I have committed my spring break to Masha. I will come back in March to visit Иваново. I'm not sure just what. In both city's there are police everywhere. An officer or a guard on just about every other street corner. With so many monuments, and historical structures, it only makes sense, and most of them are in positions near such monuments and structures. In St. Peters, there was never a problem with taking a photo of a building of any sort, however in Moscow some buildings are active government buildings, and guards are quick to let you know not to photo the building. Of course we usually got a few pics first. We didn't even get to find out what this building was, but its not to be photoed.
It seams each day we spend more time together and less time sightseeing. Thursday was cold, and snowy and Mashas mother said to be careful and better to stay in and watch movies, so we did, one of these movies was Russian film called Moscow Vacation. Today we are setting out to find an open air art market, a flash drive so Masha can have all the pictures also, and some other things.
Here is a picture of our final day in St. Peters, it was a very magical sky that night.
