Moscow is Great

Well, we've been in Moscow for a couple of days now and are enjoying it a great deal. Although we miss Yulia and Gena a lot, we are having fun with the Clarks, seeing some of the major sights in the capitol of Russia.

On Saturday we went to the Tretyakov Gallery and to the Armory at the Kremlin (a museum). We saw some wonderful exhibits of paintings, icons, and treasures from Russian history. On Sunday we went to the monastery of St. Sergei after a long day of shopping at the Moscow flea market. Incredible holiness and beautiful iconography. Then today we went to the Cathedral of Christ our Savior, the mother church of the Russian Orthodox Church. Again, incredible beauty and rich spirituality.

Tomorrow, our last day (Tuesday) we will be going to Red Square to see all of the sights. Then, we are off VERY early (4:00 AM pick up) on Wednesday morning, flying first to Zurich, then to Dallas-Fort Worth for a 24 hour lay-over, then home on Thursday to Los Angeles.

We have had such a good time, and we can't wait to come back to bring Yulia and Gena home. Thank you for your prayers! We feel them. We look forward to sharing with you all of our pictures and adventures in this wonderful land!

Blessings,

Glen and Cyndy
