 Red Square and Lenin Tomb Red Square and Lenin's tomb. One can tour the tomb and see Lenin laying in state, but he was under repair when we were there. The church in Russia feels that Lenin should be buried, as there will be no peace with Russia until he is buried. |
 Red Square A shot of Red Square in Moscow. |
 Russia The Kremlin in Moscow. |
 Russian Prison Russian prison. Not so bad... had mattresses, one per cell, and heat. Nothing like we are told about. |
 Sergeev Passad Monastery Sergeev Passad Monastery (an hour outside of Moscow). This is the monastery that Mickey got in trouble for wearing gloves in the church. An old woman warned her, sternly, that the healing of the spirits could not get to Mickey because she wore gloves in the church. |
 Sherry MacDonalds St. Petersburg Sherry and Mickey end up at McDonald in every country. This time is was a pleasant surprise because it was of the world themes. Also, in Russia they use real fat to make their french fries. They were fantastic. |

 Statue Model from Death Mask of Peter the Great Statue (made from a mold), of Peter the Great. He appears disproportioned because he was a very strange looking man. He had a tiny head, long arms and legs, and tiny feet. He often wore boots stuffed with material to allow him to appear as if he had normal size feet. |
 Sub Painting at Naval Museum Submarine painting in administrative office at the naval museum in St. Petersburg. |

 We have you covered at Naval Museum Photo of map from Naval Museum. Shows where the Russians were in their submarines. |
 What is behind Orthodox Altars An unusual shot. This is what it looks like behind the alter areas in church. Usually there is a wall that separates this area from the prayer areas. No chairs in Russian churches, all stand. |
