We had our first day of lectures and activities in Moscow today. We met the director of the universities high school and discussed how this school is connected with the university. Also, we met with the rector of the university. He told us all about the university and the programs that are offered here. Our lecture was over the Cold War today. It was interesting.
My favorite part of the day was our tour of downtown Moscow. Our guide took us to Red Square, St. Basil's Cathedral, the Christ Savior Cathedral, GUM shopping center, metro, overlook of Moscow, and more. I love Moscow and am excited to get back to several of the landmarks and learn more about them in the next few days.
I had to take a picture of this matryoshka (stacking doll). I couldn't believe it when I saw it. A matryoshka of a Kansas State football player!!! Go Cats!!!
