More Red Square

What a beautiful day!!!!!

But I did most of my sightseeing yesterday. Hmmmmmm…. what to do, what to do.

OF COURSE, I went back to the Red Square to bask in the sunshine and take more photos of my favorite building : )
I'm sure you're sick of them by now, but here are a couple more of St. Basil Cathedral:Looks great with the blue sky, huh?
Amusing colors. Funky lines. So….. Super Mario, maybe?!?!?! Hehe.

Again, I missed the Lenin Mausoleum opening hours. What's wrong with me???

Also went back to the shopping mall. Whereas I had American fast food yesterday, I opted for the Russian fast food this time around @ Tepemok.
Basic coffee (normal) with meat-filled crepe (yum!) for 125 rubles. Acceptable price, I suppose, considering how expensive Russia is!Other than the food court section, the other retail stores weren't all that interesting. The usual imported brands, combined with some local souvenirs and brands (although 99.9% made in China).

Since I still had quite some time to kill, I headed towards the Pushkin Museum. The Metro is always an option in Moscow, being very convenient, but I enjoyed the walking. With the streets being quite vast, it can take some time and energy.
Anyways, I chose the Pushkin Museum for its collection of Matisse paintings, including that adorable Goldfish painting.
I knew I was going to be museum-ed out in St. Petersburg, but I really really really wanted to see the Goldfish and other Matisse works. Yes, Waru like Matisse : ) The museum itself is quite outdated in terms of museum structure, definitely not modern and fancy like most well-known museums, but I guess it has its charms, and more importantly, it has a bunch of Matisse. Enjoyable.

From there, I took another stroll to one last sight - the Christ the Savior Cathedral. Ginormous. Just the sheer massiveness might make it worth the effort to see this white cathedral, but other than that, not at all interesting. Sadly, I didn't even bother to take pictures.

Then, it was time to buy some munchies and drinks at the supermarket, go back to the hostel to grab my stuff, and off to the train station for my overnight ride to St. Petersburg.
Excited!!!
