Rest

Today we took is easy. We ordered breakfast to my room (the most insane room service I have ever seen - I won't show photos because I am embarrassed at the amount of food we wasted). Later in the morning we went to the gym and then had massages. It was quite an experience. My masseuse was a compact asian man - this was only the first difference I noted from my massages back home. In the end, I feel less tense, more relaxed and have a great story to tell those close to me.

We took a stroll in the afternoon and visited the 'candyland' church (the Church of the Resurrection of Christ) visible from my window. Unfortunately, we were unable to view the interior, but the exterior is still amazing.













There are so many elements to look at. Each onion dome is different - these are the only domes I have seen with pyramid details! There is a park alongside and even the fence is more detailed than I have seen.







After our walk we had tea at the hotel. It was a lovely late lunch. We each had the Pushkin tea (I am going to have to read something by him - they name everything after him here!!).
