My Russian is improving on a daily basis (obviously this is related to Jay). I've had my safety net, Olga, with me the entire week, so it's been fairly safe. I was able to order my own food the other night (OK, it was Italian, so it was fairly straight forward) and I asked for the check. I'm happy to report that both my food and the check showed up as expected. I have now graduated to greeting the people at the breakfast bar in the hotel and telling them our room number. So far so good, no large scale International incidents to report.
I was also able to lead us on a long walk around our part of Moscow yesterday and we were never lost (at least not that I am aware of). Have I mentioned that Moscow is an amazing city? It's absolutely beautiful this time of year. The temperature has been in the mid to upper 60's and the Cottonwood trees are in full bloom (it looks as though it is snowing at times). The days are long right now, it remains light until after 10PM here right now (and the sun is up before 5AM....jet lag helped me on that one).
