Trip 2 Day 8- Tuesday May 20th

Today we went to explore around the Moscow State University. We took the Metro and did 2 changes to different lines to get there. This was our first time of changing lines by ourselves. It went very smooth! Once we got off the metro we explored around the University. We were trying to find the hill that overlooks Moscow. We found it! Here are a few pictures from today


One of the 7 Sisters buildings that was completed in 1953 commissioned by Stalin. This is the tallest of the 7 Sisters buildings.


Stadium where the UEFA Champions league finals (Manchester United vs. Chelsea FC) will be played on May 21st! This is the stadium where the 1980 summer Olympics opening and closing ceremonies were held.
Views of Moscow from the hill.




At night we went out to eat with a big group of people. We went to the 5 Spices Restaurant. We had a great time. The food was really good! This place is located a few blocks from Old Arbat street.

Those pictures are great! It is wonderful to see all the sights in Moscow while you are in the 10-day wait. It is so nice to be able to meet with friends you have met in the process - you and your children will always be connected through this amazing experience!! Have fun!
