Common Restaurants

Common Restaurants 

The final post for this blog ... at least for now ... is related to a small obsession that Traci LaLiberte had on our trip.  She was intrigued with seeing the common signage for American restaurants found throughout Moscow.  It was really fun to see a familiar sign with familiar ads but differing language.  Here are a few that we saw in our travels.

 

No a restaurant but I thought this was a fun ad to include in the blog. Chuck Berry!

 

Moscow Subways

On our last day in Moscow, Tracy, JaeRan and Traci had the wonderful opportunity to tour (yes, we literally toured) the Moscow subway system.  Each station has a unique appearance and varied artistic presentation. The subway has been dubbed "The people's palaces".  Some of the stations used stained glass, others (Revolution Square) adorned with bronzed statutes honoring the variety of men who fought to protect Russia. Other stations are adorned with granite, mosaic and amazing architecture.  We've included some photos that we took (below). You can also learned more about the subway system at the links below:
