Being in Moscow, one expects a lot of snow and cold. But yesterday, we were thwarted by the amount of snow - it was so snowy and cold that we had to abandon our plans to go to the Starlight Diner, an American hang out that was just outside of the Oktobryskaya metro. Only problem was that the metro emptied out onto a star shaped, Stalin statued, plaza. In other words: five possible directions, blinding snow, crying kid. Abandon ship!
I was disappointed that we wouldn't have a chance to meet other families and possibly score a few playdates for Sasha. Sasha, by the way was caught twice in the savage metro turnstiles. She now says "if you don't pay mommy, they crush you in the subway." A wry observation from a five year old, but considering the turnstiles did first hit her legs and then her good arm (!) what do you expect? Did I mention that we were yelled out by an angry babaschk? But she's now jumping on the escalator and onto the trains like an old pro. Two steps forward, one step back...
