Back in the USSR!

We made it to Moscow safe and sound without any problems. We got to the hotel around noon and slept for a few hours while they registered our visa's. Then we ventured out to Red Square and did some sightseeing. It was beautiful....here's a few pics for you!



We stopped at a market on the way back to get some of their yummy bread, mustard, crackers and cheese. We ended up with butter and not cheese. Oops...it looked like cheese.
Tomorrow we have our medicals at noon. We are a little nervous but they've told us that it is really nothing. I hope so. Tomorrow night we fly to Volgograd. Only 1 more day until we see Mischa Grace! OMG we can't wait ... I hope she remembers us.
