The part of Russia I saw was waan't the best part of town. We were told to wear sturdy shoes and yes, you needed them. A lot of the sidewalks were uneven to walk on. Not all, but some. Tanya took me into some stores so I could buy some souvenirs and it was a typical dept store. Coming home, we had to come back thru Moscow. We got to go to Gum dept store, but it's not just one store, it's a collection of shops all under one roof, similar to what Lloyd Center was when it opened. We were in Red Square, and there were a lot of venders there, selling everything. We went thru Lenin's tomb. It's kept on the dark side inside, no cameras are allowed inside. I held onto one of the men's arm so I wouldn't stumble. Our guide's grandfather had fought in the 1917 Revolution and he was buried there at Red Square. When we went to the airport to come home, there are two sections at the airport, one for domestic flights, and the other for foreign flights. The domestic flights are crowded and the flight we were on coming to Russia, they had a goat on the plane. When we left to fly back to America, we were on a new Aeroflot plane, really snazzy. The service we received on all our flights was very good, the food was good. I don't know if we got better service because we were a bunch of Americans, or not, but I didn't have any complaints. Our leader kept our passports and visas and he knew more about getting us thru all the ins and outs, we didn't have to worry about anything.
