Moscow days 1 and 2

So we didn't get in till early evening yesterday, by the time we made it through Customs (fill out forms? What forms? Why do the two of us so often feel out of the loop?) and drove into Moscow - they have some serious traffic issues here. Anyway, we made it safe and sounds and walked around and had an early dinner. We stumbled upon what seems to be the Balducci's of Moscow, though I can't even type the name (different set of keys!) or write it phonetically... have no idea. The building is amazing! Look at these chandeliers! Little more history there than at 13th and 8th.
I also have a thing for food labels in other countrys. However -- this was more because what Milk is going in glass bottles unrefrigerated?? Yikes.
Today we cruised around the Red Square and the Kremlin. This church was inside the Kremlin which took us a while to figure out how to get into :). The structures here are incredible and I can not wrap my head around how they were ever built in they years that they were.
