February 22, 2008: Moscow – rainy/snowy day

  Fun day here in Moscow.  It rained a bit this morning and then mixed with snow in the afternoon.  I must admit that I expected a much harsher weather pattern.  I guess we are lucky.  It has not been extremely cold and the weather has not been too bad (course that would have been fine with me).

  We walked around a lot today.  Went to a coin store and a street market.  Found a few Russian coins for my collection.  🙂  David has some work to do his afternoon so Joey and I went to eat with Michael.  He took us to a nice restaurant in the top of a building.  You could see one of Stalins buildings across from us (see background of photo). 

  We also visited an art museum.  They had some AMAZING statues outside.  Just amazing art!  Some of the best statues that I believe I have ever seen.  I will have to post the photos in the coming weeks. (see a couple of images below)

  OK, I rarely get tired or worn out BUT after being gone for two months I am finally worn out!  Having a blast here in Moscow.  SOOOO much to see and so little time to see everything.  I have a thousand photographs to go through!  I will be going through photographs for the next two months.  That will at least give me something to do once I return home.  That and school!

  More later…
