Correction

In my rant, I said the map online showed the Orphanage as being hundreds of meters. It is really about 7.5 miles form our hotel. Still takes an hour to get there but it has taken me an hour to get 7.5 miles in Boston at times too. The traffic is still worse here. Some people follow lights when they want. We have some people want to be the last person through a red light. Here, the last person may also be the first person through the next green light.

Next time here we will stay at a hotel much closer to where we need to be. We are still happy we stayed here due do its proximity to major tourist sights including the Kremlin, St. Basil's Cathedral, Red Square and Arbat St.

Sightseeing and Pictures outside the Kremlin

We walked around Red Square and inside the Kremlin yesterday. Some pictures posted below. Kelly's foot got a little sore from all the walking and her stress fracture potential but otherwise it was cold and impressive. Really a beautiful area and something to see. Not sure what today holds but tomorrow is THE DAY!!! WE GET TO SEE OUR LITTLE GIRL!!!!!!!!!

No pictures of us yet because we agreed we will post pictures of both of us when we have some. I had the camera all day so we only had pictures of Kelly and none of me.

These are all pictures outside of the Kremlin.

St. Basil's Cathedral during the day.

Below is St. Basil's Cathedral in the early morning hours. We could not sleep.

Kremlin, Red Square & St. Basil's Cathedral

We had breakfast and went to Red Square before the sun was up. Hopefully the pictures come up but they are still on the media for now in the camera. We are back in the hotel for a couple of hours, probably until 11-ish and then we will go back down to the Kremlin to get inside and see it inside.

The area is beautiful. I look forward to viewing the pictures to see which if any came out.

One downer is the pillow must have stunk because my neck is just one wrong move from being really painful.
