Vacation 2004: Moscow

Thanks to Lena's friends in Moscow, our comeback to civilization was painless. they took a great care about us. They met us on a railway station at 4:30 am (!) and transfered us right to they summer house which is well outside of Moscow. There we ahd a wonderful morning with a breakfast (which was very different of what we had for two weeks), a little bit of sleeping, a sauna and just relaxation. Lena's friend Anya also owns this wonderful mops Sophie.



In the evening we were back to Moscow, where we had a terrific tour around the city centre after a nice evening in Italian restaurant. Anya and her boyfriend Sasha are very keen on Italian cuisine!

The next day we continued to refresh our impression about Moscow, where we in 1997 recently. The city has changed a lot since then, of course. But this sculptures on Patriarshi Ponds are still there. We have seen the first time, however, and I was happy to picture myself together with these characters of fables by Krylov, famous Russian writer of fables.
