Moskva (Moscow to the English cruds)

Apologies for the lack of a post last night FCers, but unfortunately the internet situation in my current location, Moscow, is not befitting nightly updates. We are staying it what is essentially a worker's dormitory at a construction site in Moscow. Vanya's father is a foreman of some type, and we are staying with him. Conditions are comfortable, we essentially have our own large room (the three of us sleep in the same room, Vanya's pops, Stanislav, a really cool dude, sleeps in an attached room with a co-worker).

So the digs are fine, but there is no wifi, and just a desktop. This way I can't add photos, and typing every night might disturb the others. I will try and maybe get a quick post up when I can, otherwise, all the details and accompanying photographs will have to come after I return home. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Still though, keep an eye out. For now, we have had our first full day here in Russia's capital, taking in Red Square, St. Basil's Cathedral, Tverskaya Ulitsa (the most expensive street in the city), and the pedestrian street, Old Arbat. We skipped on going in the Kremlin, wanting to avoid the long lines. We were pretty cathedral-ed out anyway (most of the Kremlin sites look to be churches), so I figured no big miss.

Come by for more later on, but the best will come post-trip.

Cheers.
