The Kremlin and a Ballet Performance

In the morning we went to the Kremlin. The first thing we visited at the Kremlin was the State Armory to see it's collection of armor, clothes, carriages, icons, silverware, and Faberge eggs. Also on the grounds of the Kremlin, is the Cathedral of the Archangel, the Cathedral of the Assumption, the Cathedral of the Annunciation, and the Ivan the Great Bell Tower. We also saw the Tsar Bell and Tsar Cannon.

After a late lunch on the ship, we headed back into the city to see a ballet performance by the Imperial Russian Ballet at the New Opera Theater at the Moscow Hermitage Gardens. We saw exceprts of Shaharazade, Walpurgis Night, and Bolero.
