I had made reservations to join a walking tour of the Kremlin on the afternoon of June 7th.  The tour was conducted in English by Capital Tours of Moscow.  Unfortunately, it began raining shortly before the tour started, but nevertheless, I paid the fee and took my chances at getting soaked.

Start of our tour	Hmm	Kremlin tourist entrance

View from the tourist entance ramp The presidential offices

The huge cannon pictured above was installed for protection of the Kremlin.  It was never fired in a conflict.

VIP's entering	More government offices	A Kremlin church

The bell above was constructed for the Kremlin church (right) but was never installed as it broke while it was being worked on.  It weighs over 15 tons!		Now, we go inside the church above

Interior of the Kremlin's church After visiting the church, we went inside the Krem- lin's armory -- really a museum.   The church, once more The outside of the Armory (I think)

		Dresses and headwear in the Armory.

Outside Kremlin Good bye Moscow! After finishing the Kremlin tour, I took the metro back to the railroad station and caught the overnight train to Helsinki.  I slept well that night and woke up around 6:30, in time to snap a picture of the border town on Finland's side. On to Helsinki!
