Kremlin and Red Square, Moscow - Moscow - Things To Do Reviews

My first trip to Russia. I arrived at about 6:00 PM Moscow time. My friends picked me up at the Sheremetyevo airport. They decided that we should go visit another of their friends. Unfortunately the other friends lived about 40 miles outside Moscow. We were traveling at rush hour on a Friday night going out of Moscow. Now this is the time every person who can who lives in Moscow is leaving the city to go to their dacha, or Summer home. 4 Hours later, having traveled about 20 miles, we decided to turn back, and go to the Kremlin and Red Square. At 2:00 AM in the morning. There were about 10 other people there. It was wonderful. The history, the colors of the cathedrals. Now I needed a rest room. Aha none to be had. We went up to some police officers, and they offered their place. Out back of their trailer right outside of the square. They were very pleasant. This was all within the first 8-9 hours of my visit. I will add more about this trip soon.
