I'm still not sure about the particulars of how and why, but apparently once a month or so admission to museums in Moscow is free. I met with Sasha and Лёша at about 13.30 and we headed to the Kremlin. When we arrived, I was instructed not to speak English when we purchased the tickets, so I'm inclined to think that maybe it's only free for Russians or some such. In any case, we got in for free and went around to each of the museums and cathedrals in Red Square. Unfortunately, photography wasn't allowed inside any of the buildings, but I did get a fair number of pictures around the Kremlin and throughout the gardens. There were thousands of people, and I didn't manage to get in to see the fabergé eggs owing to the tremendously long wait.
It rained on and off through the day, but we managed to avoid getting too wet as it tended to rain only when we were inside, so that was pretty awesome. We were at the Kremlin from about 14.00 until about 18.00 and then headed to МУ-МУ for dinner. As always, although I'm not positive the cook knew what he was serving and I'm not really positive what I ate, but he sure as hell knew how to cook it, and lunch was absolutely delicious.
After dinner, we headed back to Kon'kovo, hoping to play some futbol. As we suspected would be the case though, the field was ruined from the rain. I suppose it's just as well, because it's hard to play futbol with 3 people. Sasha was okay putting me up as goalie, but after doing some passing back and forth yesterday, Лёша was apparently comfortable assuring him that I could play. I think he has more confidence in me than I do, but we're going to try again tomorrow, and we'll see what happens =P
Unfortunately, since I don't actually have a camera, all my photos were taken with my phone or my video camera. In order to post pictures from my phone I have to email them individually to myself... and there's like 50 or 60 of them, and formatting videos takes forever. So .. again, I say with many apologies that you're going to have to wait. I have to get up at 5.00 tomorrow to meet with Katya to go see a church that's apparently the oldest in Moscow, and it's already 3.00 now, so I'm afraid I just don't have time. I'm already not going to get any sleep, and I'm praying I manage to stay awake through the day tomorrow and manage not to fall over. At least if I die from exhaustion I'll already be at the church and burying me shouldn't be too much of a hassle.
That being said, I'm still awake because on top of my lungs still having not recovered, I'm actually sick to my stomach now, and I've already consigned myself to the fact that there's no chance I'm going to even get 2 hours of sleep, so I'm not even going to bother trying. All I can do it promise to get up my pictures and videos as soon as I get some time. I hope everyone had an awesome day, and an excellent day tomorrow as well! Take care, All!
