"FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE" a Moscow Travel Page by Tocco

Send Photo to a Friend

PRIVET, (hello)
Ever since I was a child I always had a fascination with Russia. I grew up in the 80s were the Russians were our enemies. We had our finger on the button and so did they.
I always wanted to know what was true or just propaganda. I regret I never went to Moscow when it was behind the
"IRON CURTAIN" but I still wanted to learn more about the Russian people.
So... I went.
All I found was that the Russian people were the most warm hearted people I have ever met. Moscow was beautiful and the weather was warm. Not like in those cold war movies we grew up with.
I felt my whole trip was a dream. Being in a once forbiden land. Now an American
standing in RED SQUARE looking at the KREMLIN and ST. BASILS CATHEDRAL on May first. Who would have thought?
I hope you enjoy my page. I will try to separate fact from fiction. I will also try to stay away from politics, but it will be hard to do. To sum it all up
The Cold war is OVER! long live pease!
ZA MIR
