It was a very early morning departure today from the hotel, leaving at 4:30am to catch our flight to Moscow. Flight on Aeroflot was very comfortable this time. No problems, even slept about an hour. yipee!!!
Rick, Angela and I are all staying at the Holiday Inn Sokolinski in Moscow. it's a very nice hotel and within walking distance to McDonald's as well as several small malls for shopping, grocery stores and a lovely large park to stroll in.
We are all feeling a bit jet lagged and tired after our quick trip to Krasnoyarsk and all the emotions that go with meeting your children and then having to leave them behind, so we did not venture down to Red Square today. That is planned for tomorrow. This afternoon we did visit all of the little shopping centers and took a walk through the park. The weather was beautiful, even if on the cool side. The sun was shining and the wind was light. All the time in Krasnoyarsk it was windy, cold and rainy on and off, so sunshine was wonderful. We opted to eat at the bar/restaurant in the hotel tonight and then call it a day as 1) we were unable to locate any eatting establishments near us that could handle our very limited Russian. 2)We had already eatten at McDonald's for lunch, so did not want that again for dinner. 3) we were all just too tired to venture out much farther. Dinner was delicious, so not a bad choice afterall.
More from Moscow tomorrow!

Hi! I got your email, so I'll respond to that later today. I just wanted to let you know that there is a Mexican restaurant not to far from your hotel. Just walk across the street and down the plaza. It will be on the right hand side and it was at the end of a building. It had outdoor seating when we were there in July. I don't know about now. They could have packed it all away. I can't remember the name of it, but seems like there was a sombrero on the sign. They did have an English menu and our waiter spoke some English. The food was pretty good and it will give you a change of scenery from the hotel and McDonalds. Have a safe trip home! Talk to you then! Kyley
