Today I am sightseeing in Moscow, Russia. I have just landed at Sheremetyevo International Airport and I am excited to see as much of Moscow I can.

What is probably the most obvious thing people would go to first is St. Basil's Cathedral. For a building that was made in 1561, it is still in fantastic shape. Containing many religious material such as relics, paintings, and even scriptures, there are quite a few people that come here for religious enlightenment.

The next place I would like to visit is the State Historical Museum. The SHM contains almost every piece of Russian history. With the museum containing 4.5 million artifacts, and some going all the way back to prehistoric tribal artifacts, the collection is truly ginormous.

Now my last place I was going to visit WAS going to be Kremlin Museum, but once I saw this place, I had to go to it. The place I am going to now is the Museum of Soviet Arcade Machines! In a time of what seemed to be a very dark time in Russia's history, seeing this museum makes me think that these games were used to help escape hardships and have a good time.

Day One: Washington D.C.

Day One 8:56 AM:  Today is the first day of many of me travelling around the world. I am flying from Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport  to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and hopefully my plane will be able to take off in a couple of hours or so. 11:07 AM: I have now just boarded on the plane and it seems that there will be very little delay before take off. 2:31 PM: We have just landed at Reagan NA and man does it look nice in here! 3:16 PM: Now that I am at D.C., I am going to travel to some of the many monuments and buildings around this city. The first one being the Washington Monument. 3:30 PM: If there is one thing that I will say about the Washington Monument is that it is HUGE! At 555 feet tall it is the tallest building in Washington D.C. and it will apparently stay that way because there is a law that states no building shall be taller than 160 feet. 4:50 PM: The next monument I traveled to was the Vietnam Veteran Memorial....

Day 4: Puerto Rico

10:40 A.M. Today I have just arrived at the Port of San Juan from Miami, Florida. The only thing I really have to say is that I am very excited to be able to explore this island of paradise. 11:13 A.M. The first area I want to go to is Old San Juan. This is the usual for tourists to go to, so I expected it to be chocked full of people already. If there is one thing I always love to find out about a certain location, it would have to be its history and since it has been over 500 years since Old San Juan has been settled, there is a lot to uncover. 11:36 A.M. Lets start off the expedition by going to the mansion of owned by one of the more famous explorers, Ponce De Leon. The manor seems to be modest, but with what they had for building and with the fact that this was built when the people were still trying to settle on the land, it would then seem to be a luxurious place 1:37 P.M. The next place I went to is San Felipe del Morro, which is an old fort built by the Spanish use...
