We have re-visited Red Square four times, including a night visit to see the lights...it is still a happening place at 11 pm.
There is the historic GUMs Department store, built in the late 1800s with it's many "lanes"' multiple stories, a display of classic cars complete with photos of them in use...old times and now! Pre-scooped solidly frozen ice cream comes seem be a signature of the place and Tom lined up with the locals to get us one
-The Metro...underground...is nothing short of heart stopping the first time you step onto that steep escalator into what was previously also a bomb shelter"....
And alternately breathtaking when you see the marble, mosaics and bronzes that populate the walls of many of the stations
Lovely!!! Nice to see your travels from a virtual vantage point!
