Guys acting crazy in the airport. We had a layover in Chicago. Red Square in Moscow, Russia. That's a big wall, ain't it? Thats where the "president" of Russia lives... like the White House, except it's bigger... and longer.
That's a church on the south side of Red Square. That's a big cell phone ad. This is south of Red Square.
This is a really large escalator. Had it been stairs, I would have taken the elevator. This is one of the sets of playground equipment that the team assembled at the main orphanage.
These are my Russian buds, Alina and Masha. They didn't speak very much English, but I didn't speak any Russian. That's Big Ben. We were in London, England on the way home so we saw some places.
That ferris wheel in the background is the London Eye. People ride it to see the entire city. Those cars are on the wrong side of the road. This is the building below Big Ben. We didn't go inside because we were hungry. We went to get dinner instead.
BOO! I scared you! That's pretty spooky, eh? That is in Westmister Abby and we visited there at night.
