Summer in the City

I was excited to head north to Moscow to get out of the New England heat and humidity. I was thinking wrong, though. It was a very hot day outside in Moscow today, just like a typical New Hampshire July afternoon. Ken and I did our best to stay cool, but in a city of no air conditioners, it was tough!

We went back to Old Arbat Street today. We ate at a place called my-my's (pronounced moo-moo's). It is cafeteria-style Russian cuisine, with a cow motif running throughout. It was cute and the food was good and cheap, so we were happy to eat there. I also did have my Starbuck's iced coffee...it was delicious, a little taste of home!

Here is a picture of me posing with the cow and my Starbucks outside of my-my's. Ken felt too ridiculous to pose with the cow, so I took one for the team!

Olga is picking us up at 5:30 today, in about 2 hours. From there the three of us will travel by train to Bryansk. We will be checking into our hotel around 1:00 am, then waking up early to go visit Angelina before our court hearing. Our next post will have the result of court! I can't wait to share the news!
