Today we took the Metro (subway) to the Kremlin and Red Square, historic and political centers of Moscow for centuries. The cathedrals are amazing, and surprisingly close together. The grounds were lovely and well-maintained. The oddest thing was that one building, that is used for some current political business, and another building in Red Square were surrounded with special canvas facades painted to look exactly like the building. This is because of a rule that when buildings are having work done they need to cover them, so as not to be unsightly. [We checked our cameras in with our bags so didn't get photos here.]
