Lenin
Before I talk about Lenin’s Mausoleum, Let me tell you about my day…
First, I tried to get into the Red Square. We get held up by the guards checking everyone’s bag, and when it’s my turn to go through the guard can’t figure out what I was! He starts feeling me in all sorts of places, then tries to pull me apart – OUCH! I certainly didn’t say thank you to him!! Since he couldn’t speak English, and I only knew how to say one word, and our guide was far away, things were looking very bleak.
Luckily our guide came back and explained to the guard who I was (I am sure he said I was ‘very, very important’!!). Unfortunately, the guard didn’t quite understand, apparently I am the first traveling chicken he had seen. Luckily, after about 20mins, and some very unhappy people lining up behind us, the guard gave in and he allowed me to go through.
We finally got to see Lenin’s Mausoleum!
We didn’t get to go in and see his body though. You see our guide went home, it was getting late, and all bags had to be inspected again before you could go in, and since I was well aware of the guards feelings towards me, I decided to pass.
