Sat. and Sun. in Moscow

Hi! We arrived here at 8:20 am very tired. Angelina took 2 naps, and did great, considering that we hauled her partway across Russia. We went to a grocery store and bought some food for the apt. Then Alex took us to his 5th floor flat. It is fine, liv/bed., kitchen, and bathroom. He left us there after lunch, and came back the next morning. So we had plenty of time to relax. Angelina relaxed in the apt. and played. She is so tough...so many strange places day after day, and 2 people she is just learning to trust. She woke up early, about 4:30 Moscow time. We are 3 hrs. earlier than Novo. So we had a long morning! And it doesn't get light until maybe 8, so we started to wonder if it would be dark forever. We signed paperwork this morning and then went sightseeing. We saw the Red Square, Kremlin, watched the changing of the guards at the tomb of the unknown soldier, and went into a beautiful cathedral. We ate lunch at McDonald's. It is the largest in the world. The fries and cheeseburgers tasted delicious!! Yes, we are lonesome.:-) Angelina loved the fries, ketchup, and cheeseburger. Tonight we will walk to a nearby rest. for supper, and then spend the eve. here. This restaurant has Russian pancakes, so we will get some of those. Even McDonald's sells them for breakfast. We also had them on the plane. Tomorrow morning we have to be at the Dr's office at 8, so we won't sleep in, ha, ha. Only one more day!!!!!

Was glad to hear from you! She is eating hamburger and fries??? Alexia has a long ways to go. We are still eating totally smooth food, or it has to be very crunching!! I know you are having so much fun with her!!
Love, Kellys
