On Tuesday, we took another trip to the Kremlin to see a few of the sights we didn't manage the first time. Our main goal was to make it into the Armory of the Kremlin which is an incredible collection of Tsarist weaponry, clothing and other items. Many of the things we viewed had incredible levels of craftsmanship and detail. The book bindings were especially incredible as it was very common to see golden books that were covered in precious stones. Unfortunately, I was not allowed to take pictures inside of the building so I won't have any to show. One thing that was pretty surprising though was how many of the exhibitions were from other countries. Much of the art from the time of Peter the Great was foreign because of his huge interest in Europe and many German, French and English diplomats offered these expensive gifts to the Tsar. It was pretty incredible to see how ornate the weaponry was and I was amazed at the condition of the pieces. It was as if they had been completed only days ago and I assume this is because the collection has been very fluid and and pieces are rarely moved.

Yesterday, we took a trip to Georgian restaurant in the center of Moscow which was fantastic. I tried the Манты (Manti) which is similar to a meat filled dumpling. It was served with sour cream and it really was delicious.

Today we had our last day of class and later on we will be visiting the main МГУ campus which should be very cool. The main building is one of the Stalinist Seven Sisters which were a set of seven soviet government buildings that are all designed in a similar fashion.
