Back in the USSR!

After 22 hours of traveling, we are safe and sound in our Moscow hotel, the Metropol.

The hotel is beautiful - it is 115 years old, and is less than a block from Red Square. I can actually see the Kremlin from my room!

Despite some rain, our initial impressions of Moscow are favourable - the city seems clean and welcoming to tourists.

We are off for our first Russian meal - but first the lobby bar is calling. It hosted Lenin 100 years ago, so it should be good enough for us!

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”
- Mark Twain
