MOSCOW--ALL MERRY AND BRIGHT

                                          Ice skating in front of the GUM on Red Square



                                    St. Basil's on Red Square.  My favorite Russian building.



Lots of beautiful trees.  This one had the music staff and musical notes.  Since they can't run the fountains in the winter they replace the water with pretty lights.



The Blue Tree in front of Red Square.  It was snowing when we took most of  these picture.  Can you see the snowflakes?



The fountain in front of the Bolshoi Theater.  They have been doing a remodeling of the theater for 3 years.  I don't think it is going to be finished before we leave.  I bet it will be beautiful.



                    Our favorite Chinese Food Restaurant got all gussied up for Christmas too.



            The Green Tree--looking down the main street that runs into Red Square--Tverskaya.
