Goodbye Moscow...Hello St. Petersburg

Suddenly, and much quicker than we realized, our time in Moscow was up.  We headed towards the massive train station area.  I must say area, because this particular area consists of three separate train stations (including the one at which we arrived after the trans-Siberian trip...we arrived about 100 meters from where these photos and videos were shot) and a very large Metro/subway station (Smolenskaya).  Endless lines of people coming and going, luggage being toted everywhere, and a lot beautiful historic buildings all around.  A great people-watching spot, and was a decent place to kill time until our 9:20 pm overnight train to St. Petersburg.  We arrived at 5:05 am the next morning.  After 160 hours on the trans-Siberian, we simply laughed at a measly 8 hour overnight train...where is the challenge in that?
