Armoury and Gorky Park

We went on an excursion to the Armoury at the Kremlin today...all of the old clothes and crowns, etc. Most of my pictures are from standing outside waiting to go in...
After that, some of us went to a big underground mall, ate some food, and then went to Gorky Park. In the summer, the park is a giant amusement park along the river, but in the winter they flood over all of the pathways to make it covered in ice for ice skating. At first, we couldn't figure out where to rent the skates, so it was interesting walking around on the paths of ice in just shoes. Surprisingly though, it was pretty easy (it was covered in snow so not so slippery) to walk, and much harder to skate. It was full of ruts and the skates were not very good quality, so it made for interesting mishaps.
