MGY


Jenny and I take a tour of Moscow State University which is located in one of the seven sisters of Moscow.  These Seven Sisters or Stalins Skyscapers were build from 1947- 1953 are easily seen throughout the city as they tower high above the rest of the landscape.  It is quite usual to get a tour of the top dome of this building but today we were fortunate to see it!  The elevator was small so only 2 or 3 could ride at a time.  On the top floors below the dome is the home of a large geological collection of rocks and fossils which we enjoyed seeing and hearing about as well.


Manueala from Romania and myself

Aunt Jenny in front of Gorky Park
After the tour we ate lunch in the basement at the school cafeteria.  From here Jenny and I decided to go to Gorky Park to look for art.  It was a beautiful day.  But we didn't find any art we liked or could afford there.  So off we go to the Starry Arbat to look for art there.  And we found it.  Great day!
