It's getting late and I have a long, cold day ahead of me tomorrow (Kremlin tour) so I'll make this short.
I'm experiencing a sensory overload. This morning we went to a beautiful Russian Orthodox service and tonight we saw Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake ballet performed at the Bol'shoi theater. Yesterday we went to the famous Tretyakov museum/gallery and toured St. Basil's. We went to the Museum of Contemporary Russian History and saw Pushkin Square at some point, but it's now blending together.
So far i absolutely love the food. I'll admit that I've been avoiding the fish dishes, but seriously, bring on the cheese. Cheese is EVERYWHERE and delicious. And potatoes. Also, these Russians like their desserts, I tell you what.
Anyway, I'm sort of all over the place right now as I'm tired and ready for bed. Also, I'm sitting using wireless in the smoking room here and a couple women came in just now to smoke...so I'm signing off. I will, however, provide some details and stories and, of course, pictures by Wednesday (your Tuesday, probably).
Ya loobloo Rossiya (I love Russia, phonetic spelling)

Hello there! You would laugh at me trying to phonetically pronounce what you wrote. Sad I know. I am sooo glad you love Russia --- and the food! Seriously one of the best parts of travel so keep it up. I expect to hear vodka stories at some point --- sober ones of course. :)
ReplyDeleteYour adventures sound amazing and make me want to visit someday. Thanks for letting all of us readers, or at least me, live vicariously through you!!!

Oh feel free to live through me Carly, I have no problem with that. And yes, FOOD. :) Hope all is well in Idaho. If it's any comfort, it IS very cold here, which makes some of the outdoor things less enjoyable...but still...
