the beginning of advanture

a day fullfilled with excitment, new feelings, advanture, random ppl, my dad's b-day, rain!, and pictures...
To start from the beginning, we did wake up late as it's been predicted, so our days started around noon... registration part brought me into frustration, but we postponed it till tomorrow, so taking the metro and going down-town was our main goal for today. First of all, I've conmbined smth I had to do (aka somewhere I had to drop by) with an interesting excursion around one of the oldest monastries down town. The amazing thing about it is that behind those thick walls no traffic noise is coming through and it's so peacefull and quite as we are somewhere in the subburbs. Moreover, except the interesting excursion we had around that holly place, we met a group of tourists from Buenos Aires there and with whom I tried to use the little spanish I know... but due to my shyness and the lack of time we had, I barely could say hi and bye. But that group of adult latinos followed us even to the resturant we stopped to have lunch in. Nice and very friendly people and absolutely out of nowhere.. But our tour was going on. After seeing the beauties of that monastry we realized that hunger was taking our last energy away, so we stopped at this lovely, quite cheep, but very russian place where we could have a decent lunch and not overpay since Moscow is very far from a cheep city.. That was the moment when the severe rain has started and scared a lot of ppl away.. we continued our trip to the Red Square, by the Historic Museum, by Lenins grave, went to the St Basilic church, followed by Alexander Garden and we ended our trip in the Cathedral of Crist the Savior. We choose to have a church day, because it required to have a special atire, so tomorrow we are looking forward to further exploration of Moscow :)

off to bed, coz the wine we had for my dad's b-day is getting me a bit :P
night-night
