Moscow Free Day

by Dan Ware

September 8, 2019 Those of us who participated in the St. Petersburg pre-tour extension have a free day today until time for the official welcome dinner tonight. Several of us visited Red Square and viewed Lenin in his tomb. We also took a ride on the Metro to see Moscow’s famous subway art.
