We did souvenir shopping yesterday - spent about 5400 rubles - nearly $180. Got 40 Matryoshka Dolls as gifts, a keychain for dad, hats for Fred, Dave & Karen. Can't sleep - went to bed at 8pm - jet lag. Our plane leaves at 3:30pm for NYC. We need to find a duty free shop before leaving to get some vodka. Maybe we will tour the Kremlin today when Natasha - our coordinator picks us up. Whatever we do it should be an adventure. I've come to the conclusion that I hate seltzer water - that's all we can get here. We ate Italian food (real Italian food) at an Italian restaurant on Arbat st. That was wonderful. Russians have such a different idea of food than western Europeans and us.
