Finishing up Week 10 in the Russian capital and it's finally, L's spring break.
We are heading north to Estonia and then Latvia, with perhaps a day trip to Helsinki. I am weary of the cold, but of course, now that we're leaving town, the Moscow weather forecast is for 70 degrees, which is AKA The Larry Band of Comfort.
Today, L and I went for a walk in the almost-but-not-quite thawed Chisty Prudy (Clean Ponds) neighborhood. The ice had definitely thinned out, but it could still keep a beer bottle from sinking. As it's Friday, there were many Russians enjoying the balmy 48-degree weather and sitting on benches drinking beer. No open container laws here. Everyone appeared to be having a good time and behaving themselves. Fast forward to 10 P.M., and I'm not sure the scene will quite be the same.
