Today we went for a walk to the Moscow Centre and I could see myself many famous buildings!

Here you can see State Historical Museum. And behind me you can see the Nikolskaya Tower of Kremlin.





Here's Kazan Cathedral that is situated on the Red Square:



And here's the Red Square! You can also see the Spasskaya Tower (with chiming clock), the Senate Tower, Lenin's Mausoleum near it, skating-rink and New Year Tree.





Here are Iberian Gate and Chapel, the entrance to the Red Square:



And here's the most famous shopping centre in Moscow - GUM (Main Universal Store)!



This is the skating-rink organized by GUM on the Red Square



The New Year Tree on the Red Square!



Saint Basil's Cathedral - one of the most beautiful cathedrals in Moscow!

Then we went to the main library in Russia - Russian State Library! And here's Dostoevsky Monumet in front of it:



There was a New Year Tree near the library and sparrows sat in its brances ) I found it strage..



I saw a picture of a cat near the Tree. Kristl told that it is a very famous cat from Russian cartoons, he's called Leopold and his motto is "Let's live in peace and friendship!". I liked him!



On the other side there was a dog and a cat playing guitar. They appeared to be Matroskin the Cat and Sharik the dog from another famous cartoon - Three from Prostokvashino.



Then we went to the International Post Office cause Bertold was leaving to Oregon, USA. Have a nice trip, Bertold!
