We walked to the Moscovy River and decided to get on a sight seeing river boat but couldn't make the ticket person understand us. A school teacher with about 10 children around 12 years of age asked if she could help. She couldn't speak much English but one of the students was great. He said he was learning at home with his parents. We laughed with him and the children were all very courteous.  The tall white building originally was the headquarters of the KGB!  

We got off at Gorky Park and walked through the paths along lakes, flower gardens, and coffee houses. It was very nice. Since the Russian space science is at a stand still, their shuttle, which looks almost like ours, another copy, is now situated by the river as an amusement sight instead of a space vehicle. How the mighty have fallen. Continued over the bridge and found another station about four blocks away.

Space.

The second photo is the old KGB building and the right one is just one of the huge bureaucratic type structures and the Moscow Airport!
