Cherisse in Red Square, Moscow

We had a fabulous time in St Peteresberg and Russia. I went with a group of 23 students from The American University of Rome. We had a kick ass time! We saw so much in only 5 days. The trip started off a little shady when we discovered the travel agency messed up my ticket and I couldn't fly to Milan with the group. Plan B was taken... I flew to another airport in Milan then took an expensive damn taxi to the correct Milan airport to catch my flight with the group to St Petersberg! I made it! The rest of the trip ws a breeze.

The churches were beatuiful and the architecture was jaw dropping at times. All the gold! Many places we went to prohibited camera so we got pretty repetitious in the Red Square Moscow and down main street in St. P. The women were gorgeous and tall! I fit right in!! Haha. It was an amazing experience with a great group of people. It was very interesting to see the Bear and the monkeys in the Square. People do the craziest things for money! Seeing Lenin's body in the Masoleum was a site, but it wasn't like I've never seen a dead body before..hazards of the 'real' job! The Church of the Sacred Blood was amazing with its mosaic walls. Brillant! Overall the cities were gorgeous and clean! Put Roman walls to shame! Moscow kept reminding my of Candyland! I loved it! Maybe Russian will be the next language to learn...or maybe I should just focus on Italian!

Big thanks to Stefano who organized it all! Grazie mille Stefano. Sei meriviglioso. La prossima volta in Sri Lanka, ci saro'.
