Love all the stories and all the pix. As Arlene said, we loved Moscow last year. What she didn't remember is that we took advantage of executive floor in Hilton for a lot of our food. The Hilton is one of Stalin's "Four sisters" and is a fantastic building to walk through if you have the chance.
I am looking forward to your reports from the river on your way to St Pete; it sure will be easier way to leave Moscow than our mad dash via Metro and train to airport.
Have FUN!!!
