2nd day in Moscow, Russia

Hello from Moscow. We have made it through our first night, finally. We were able to find McDonalds , it was ok, it tasted just like it does at home so you can understand where i am coming from. We exchanged some Dollars to rubles yesterday. It looks like we have a ton of money now because it looks like monopoly money. It is very colorful. We ate breakfast in the hotel this morning, they had a lot of western food to choose from, (eggs, bacon, orange juice, ect.). Our room is nice, at least better than we were expecting.

In response to Melissa, we are not sure of the drivers name , but he was nice and helpful. We are staying in the hotel Holiday Inn, Sokolniki. The weather as you can see on the web site is cool, feels great.The people drive like maniacs here but they sure do get the job done!! Today we are killing a little time waiting for the driver to come back to get us at 4:30. Last night we hit the streets for an evening walk, lots of people drinking and smoking all around. We noticed that you could walk up to basically any store and purchace alchohol.YOU BETTER WATCH OUT FOR THE CARS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT WATCHING FOR YOU!!! We are soooo glad to hear from everyone back home, keep in contact.

This will be our last blog from Moscow. Next time you read we will be in Vlad, and meeting Noah.

Yay! The Hotel Sokolniki is where we stayed on our way back...I didn't know it at first, but Sokolniki park (did you walk down to the park w/ the ferris wheel?) is a pretty famous park in Moscow. And I second the hotel breakfast - OH MY, it was good!! Can't wait to read your next post from Vlad!! :)
