What a vacation I love those houses and buildings, they use such beautiful colors. I wish we had some of those here in Florida to brighten things up How are the prices over there, like in stores or gift shops are they alot higher then here?

As the sun is rising on the city, it is a lovely shade of white. There is a blanket of snow over the entire city. Snow plows are clearing the streets, but the proletariats are not hindered.

Perhaps it's finances or the fact that there are more trucks here than I thought possible.

Aqualung had a booth, but I was never able to talk to anyone... maybe tomorrow!
Geee - this is a pity, because these things are great there.
When you go to Красная площадь you have to see ГУМ - главный универсалный магазин. Promise you do this, promise!!!!
And bow your head a bit in front of Lubianka - thousands died there during the Stalinism times
