Slafely here in Moscow

Sorry, lots of picture updates to post but they are one my computer and I can't connect to the wifi here for some reason. Taking a minute to update on the common computer so can't take too long.
Train ride from Irkutsk was very good and the class of train much better. Cars were more like airplane or highway bus quality and washrooms like on planes. People a bit standoffish at first as we were the only non-Russians but we warmed them up with card games and chats and ended up with some good friends including being adopted by a 14 year old girl from Moscow. It was very nice.
Did Red Square and Kremlin today and it was awesome. We are near Gorky Park and the Moscow River and it is quite good. Off to St. Petersburg tonight on the midnight train and will have the next three days there, then back to Moscow to end our week. Will be home next Saturday and we are looking forward to it.
Great Ukrainian restaurant last night. Pigged out after scrounging for good on the platforms along the way and had my first glass, Ok glasses, of wine last night. Slept well. Full and a bit woozie but felt great.
TTFN
