"Explore, Discover, Dream"
~Mark Twain~
After a peaceful sleep the adventure will begin. We'll take Mark Twain's advice and start exploring, discovering, but instead of dreaming, we'll start
witnessing and
experiencing. Our 1st stop will be the Red Square which is a key historical landmark and a staple to any Russian vacation. At the Red Square we'll visit Lenin's tomb (I'm a history buff) and we'll also visit the archaeologically brilliant department store, GUM, to pick up sentimental souvenirs for friends and family.

In the afternoon, we'll continue this historical themed day by visiting the marvelous sites of the
Saint Basil's Cathedral (ranked 2nd best attraction in Moscow by tripadvisor) and the
Kremlin.

At this point we would've seen enough for today and are ready for our 1st celebratory shot. This is symbolic as I will not only take this shot in front of Lenin's Tomb with my imaginary political idol, but it reflects my initial feelings of
EUPHORIA in this magnificent country.
Cheers from Moscow!
