Tour # 2






















British Embassy









Originally this building didn't have a spire, but according to the story Stalin wanted it to have a spire, the architects knew it couldn't weight bear a stone spire so they added a steel spire painted to like stone.  According to the story Stalin was none the wiser, although the paint job has since faded.







Can you see the man with the pink purse?  And the dog in the purse?









Although there were a few sights that overlapped on Tour one and two, we were given additional information about the sights. We loved the tours and especially how they helped connect Moscow for us.  Much of our time in Moscow is spent underground riding the metro.  Then we pop up to see or do something then we head underground to get to our next destination.  Again, although the tour is designed for you to get off and explore an area and pick up the next Hop On Hop Off bus that comes by, we just rode the bus.  We have added lots of places to visit further on our "Moscow Must Do List."
