As if we didn't do enough on Saturday with the move and Ikea excursion we didn't want to miss the big Moscow Birthday Party!! The above poster is everywhere in Moscow - you'd think they would print up tee-shirt or hats or something? Nope Russian's aren't interested in that type of thing.....
Behind me is a stage with a woman singing -
you can see her on the huge plasma TV left of my head. I am standing on a street called Tverskaya - one of the busiest roads in Moscow - closed for the weekend festivities!
This is the army guards they brought in to keep the peace - they were everywhere.
After grabbing a quick dinner we walked down to the Kremlin via the main shopping street (Tverskaya) which was also closed off to traffic. It was a good thing they closed all the streets for this party - the streets were shoulder to shoulder with people celebrating the big day. After making our way down to the Kremlin we watched the fireworks over the Red Square and then headed back for the night.
I must admit that fireworks over the Red Square was quite a site and quite impressive - but only because of the location - Zambelli fireworks and the Fourth of July in Pittsburgh is actually MUCH more impressive - no question!
Check out all of these people!! As far as the eyes can see - wall to wall people. And yes those men in the front are from the Russian Army....Just in case the scene was to get out of hand.
