We arrived.

We arrived in Moscow after celebrating Nathan's birthday in the middle of JFK airport.  We sang Happy Birthday to him and it was enough to get the notice of one security person who came to see us having Nathan put on a little safari outfit.  Nathan took it well, and i'm sure he won't forget it anytime soon.  He didn't do all of the dares we challenged him too (mine was for him to do 17 push ups in the middle of the airport), but it's his birthday. 

We went to Red Square and the Kremlin.  We viewed one of the cathedrals in Cathedral Square in addition to Tsar's canon and the Tsar's bell.  We walked through Red Square where there was a festival going on.  We may try to get back through next weekend. 

After a long day, a few of us took a short walk to the mall across the street just to get out of the hotel. 

We are off to Vladimir today.
