How about a little Ice Skating on Red Square??

This afternoon the weather was perfect - sunny with the temperature hovering right around freezing!!

Clearly our expectations for great weather have changed since moving to Moscow. If we can see the SUN and the temperature is greater than 32 degrees Fahrenheit or about 0 degrees Celcius we can't wait to get outside!

So with the perfect weather we pulled out our new ice skates (that we purchased since moving here) and headed to Red Square. Right there - in the middle of Red Square - they built a temporary, but almost full size ice rink for the winter skating season. It is quite amazing to go ice skating in front of St. Basil's Cathedral, the Kremlin, and Lenin's tomb! What a great time!!


St. Basil's on the left and the Kremlin on the right!!!

Believe it or not, the sun was out almost the entire
time we were on the rink -
except when we took this photo!!

Last time on ice skates prior to this outing -
Junior High!!
