Moscow

We arrived in Moscow yesterday morning, July 15th, at 5:30 and are staying with my friend, Roma.
While Roma worked yesterday, Tanya, Svyatoslav and I toured the city: Red Square, St. Basil's Cathedral (including a tour of the inside)a boat ride on the Moscow River, a stroll through old Arbat Street, a meal in the Shamrock Bar. The weather was hot and humid. Millions of people were in the streets and metros. We saw no less than 20 wedding parties entering Red Square almost in a procession.
Just as we were trying to figure out where to turn to get a tram or bus after emerging from the metro nearest to Roma's apartment, he appeared! A wonderful coincidence. Later in the evening Roma and I remanised about his visit to California 10 years ago. Today we plan to attend a Davis Cup Match and go to a theatrical performance.
I'm having a great time but look forward to returning to California.
