Russia - Day 4 - Novodevichy Cemetery, Old Arbat Street, Count of Monte Cristo

First thing this morning we headed to the Central Building to give some support to some Elders meeting with an investigator from Kyrgyzstan. As the religious government official from the south part of the country, he could be very instrumental in helping the church open in that country.

Novodevichy Cemetery
Who would think going to a cemetery would make the list, huh? But with shots like these, you really just can't pass it up.

Old Arbat Street
This was a fun place to do a little souvenir shopping and just enjoy a quiet afternoon on cobblestone streets complete with sidewalk artists, musicians and street poets - made for somewhat of a bohemian atmosphere. Loved it!

Count of Monte Cristo
Amazing! I am hoping that at some point this musical will be on Broadway. There was not one aspect of the musical that wasn't amazing. The dancers were incredible. The set - fabulous. The music - moving. Cast - completely well done. It was a highlight of the trip.
