GUM or GOOM

The past few days my family has been in Moscow, Russia. I have enjoyed every moment in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Yesterday my family went to the Kremlin (which translated into English means Fortress), and the Bolshoi which is a very famous opera house. When we went in the Kremlin we saw a museum called the Armory, BUT there are only two rooms that had armor and weapons. I was promised a tank and some missiles but that was not the case. There were many rooms that had religious items, like chalices and incense to go around the altar. I saw some really cool looking eggs by a family named Faberge. They had diamonds, emeralds, rubies, and sapphires on them. The patterns and designs on the eggs were magnificent. After we were done looking at churches and graves, the fortress was over. We went to eat dinner in GUM (goom is how it is pronounced). Then we were off to the Bolshoi to watch the opening night of an opera called Boris Godunov. It was in Russian. It was well preformed and there was a bunch of action during it. I didn’t think that the Opera house was as nice as Vienna’s but it was still beautiful.
