Yay! Is it breakfast time?  Mmmm…I love fresh bib in the morning. Hmmm….is this all that the chef has prepared today? Thank you, but I’ll just look out the window instead. –Adam

You’ve all heard me talk about the many, many, many stairs in Russia. Here is a little peek at how the Russians do wheelchair accessible. I tried this ramp with Adam and it is STEEP.   Maybe that’s why I haven’t seen any people in wheelcahirs…. I did not try Adam on this wheelchair accessible ramp.Continue reading “Wheelchair accessible”

After our failed market trip on Sunday, I decided to have another go at it.  I was told by a vendor that Wednesday is a good day to go. It’s a whole sale market day and open from 8-12.  By the time I got Adam up (his jet lag has him sleeping in until 10),Continue reading “Market Day”

On Tuesday, Adam and I decided to go to the Moscow Zoo.  It’s really close to our house and amazingly only involved going up and down one flight of stairs.

This buidling is one of Stalins Seven sisters.  Initated under Stalin these sevenContinue reading “View from my window”

Day two in Moscow and we had a lot planned…but jet lag was back again and the whole Ali clan slept until noon.  We finally woke up, showered and headed out for some breakfast and sightseeing. We decided to stop in for a very late breakfast at Shokoladnitsa café.  This means chocolate and chocolate anything is aContinue reading “Best Laid Plans”

After a short deliberation, we decided that Adam and I would join Randy on his business trip to Moscow for three weeks. This would be the first time Randy and I had left the US since we returned a year ago and Adam’s first international trip. We were extremely lucky and we had the whole bulkheadContinue reading “Priviet Moskva”
