Jeff and I boarded that little tube of a stink-fest and had our 4 hour journey back to Moscow, thank God we had all 3 seats so we had a bit more room on the way back. We had the whole day in Moscow before we departed for Amsterdam and then back to the US.
We got to Moscow and of course we were met by our translator and driver, they took us to our hotel, The Courtyard Marriott, a new hotel and it was very nice. We ended up running into another family that was adopting with a different agency in the lobby at check in. I had chatted with Danette a few times on line and it was funny to run into her and her husband Dave. We had plans with another family from our agency to meet for dinner at 6:30 so we invited them also.
We decided we would go to McDonald's for some American food, it was so tasty.
We then walked around Red Square, took some great pictures and did a lot of people watching. It is funny, women in Russia wear 4 inch stilettos to walk around town, OUCH! It was great to watch them try and walk on cobble-stone streets, LOL. We decided after a couple of hours to go back to our hotel and get some rest, well Jeff took a nap I went and worked out, that really helped take some stress away.
We met Danette & Dave and Kim & Lance for dinner at 6:30. We just stayed at the hotel and talked for an hour before dinner, shared some pictures and stories then went to the Flat Iron Grill in our hotel. We all had burgers and the guys had a couple of beers, I think they were all happy the other one wanted a beer :). It was really nice meeting all of them, we had a great time. Thanks guys!
Here are a few pictures from Moscow.
