Hi, Brad and Leslie were sweet this morning and hand delivered some croissants and a plum. What a windfall! What is interesting is that the room service menu iappears to be all inclusive and the same price as in the restaurants.

Even though things are so expensive, the quality is high. Folks are friendly and we have enjoyed our land time here. We had a great conversation with the young concierge and he told us that there are really just two classes in Moscow now--the haves and the have nots. One square meter now sells for $4000 USD. At least the amber is STOL affordable! I got a nice pair of earrings for $35. Ngaire's faberge egg pendants are stll affordable. So, all is not lost. Well, it's time to check out. Bye for now.
