2 Weeks in Moscow!
June 28th, 2006 by James
I was fortunate to be sent to Moscow to consult on an offshore natural gas pipeline project . I spent almost two weeks there, and while we worked our butts off, I also got to take one day off for tourist activities, and spent the most of Russia’s “white nights” to get out and see the city after work. I was there with 4 other people from our office, and we were working with a really great small engineering firm. The people we worked with went out of their way to host us, and we were truly lucky that most of them spoke english very well. On our Sunday off, we took the train to Sergei Passat to visit the oldest Russian Orthodox monastary complex in Russia. I learned a lot about Russia and the Russian people while I was there; it was a very rewarding experience.
Red Square and the Kremlin, St Basil’s Cathedral, and a fountain next to the Kremlin
The church at Sergei Passat, golden gilt woodwork and paintings inside, and some SERIOUS onion domes 
The Moscow metro, some older trains at the station, and the metro station again - every one has incredible mosaics or statues
