I've only been gone a week and already I feel like it will be hard to adjust to New York life again! *le sigh* A life of traveling, reading, and writing is just so nice...
Yesterday marked the first of our sight-seeing. We took a trip to the Kremlin, which was rather stunning to see in person. Red Square, rather disappointingly, was not at all red. The name comes from a time when the words for "red" (Красная - krasnaya) and "beautiful" (now красивая - krasivaya) were one and the same. We also stopped by the famous St. Basil's Cathedral, which is in the same location, before reading in a nearby park that Jon became fond of during his last trip to Moscow. Without a doubt, the highlight of the visit for us both was a monkey that we encountered in front of the Kremlin, wearing jeans and a leather jacket. :) He was terribly stylish.
We spent the rest of the afternoon searching for more of the uniquely Moscow-ian ice cream, but never found any. We settled for regular ice cream and mojitos instead, then headed home. After work, dinner, and a nap it was time to hit our first nightclub in Moscow. The chosen venue was Propaganda, a club Jon had enjoyed during his last stay in the city. It was only a Wednesday so the place wasn't terribly packed, but it had a good vibe and interesting style. I think we'll be headed back there tonight after more work and a massage or two...
