Well, I didn't sleep the night through. I woke up at 3:30 Moscow time. My body is so out of whack it's not even funny. Joe finally got up at 5 Moscow time. I think I got up at 6 or so. We met some other American couples at breakfast. Actually, they would be "westerners". 2 of the couples were from Canada, and one was from North Carolina. The southern couple were on their exiting visit with their 10 month old son. One of the Canadian couples had arrived to go to court and one had arrived last night on their first visit. We passed along our little pieces of wisdom, (Don't drink the water), order cocoa, not hot chocolate as everything is taken literally and don't forget to tip. We walked Arbat St. one more time and then waited for Natasha. When we came back from our walk Joe accidentally stepped on the towel I had put down on the bathroom floor ( i did this because the shower leaked all over the floor). When we checked out we were charged like 150 Rubles (Actually a little over 300) for the "damaged" towel! I said fine, but jokingly said to Natasha, I put down the towel because the shower leaked. If I have to pay for the towel I want it. I'll take it home with me to remind me to let the shower leak. Natasha tells the maid what I said, and that I want the towel. The maid put the towel in a bag and gave it to me! OK! Well, I've learned my lesson. Don't say anything you don't want translated and let the shower flood and let the maids clean it up. We wanted to tour the Kremlin but it was 1800 Rubles or $60 per person. Ouch. I guess that will have to wait for our next trip. We went to a chocolate factory and bought some chocolate and a liquor store and bought our vodka. Have I mentioned there are few stop signs here but alot of yield signs? And did I mention the drivers here can scare NASCAR drivers? Our drive was a real NASCAR driver, wedging our shuttle van in where ever he wanted or felt he needed to be. Overall, I feel the trip has been good and very educational. I have had lunch/dinner now and 2 glasses of wine, so along with the wickedly strong airline coffee I have a buzz and am wide awake. Momentarily. Joe is sleeping with blanket, eye mask and walkman beside me. Fred and Nancy will meet us at JFK in 7 hours, and our daughter waits for her court date. 7 time zones behind us. Yup, Jerry Garcia was right, what a long strange trip it has been.
