Moscow

Brief blog post here. I landed safely in Moscow, with a brief layover in Frankfurt. Right now we are staying at a hotel somewhere in the city and I am currently fighting the urge to collapse onto my bed. We will be here this afternoon and evening and then all of tomorrow until we take the train to Yaroslavl at 2:30 p.m. I'm hoping to wander about a little bit later this evening, but they've taken our passports for paperwork purposes this afternoon, so we're pretty confined to the hotel.

I'm not sure that I had any true expectations of what the city would look like, so I can't speak of anything that truly surprised me. Денис, who studied at Midd last year and worked at summer school, and lives in Moscow is supposed to come by for dinner tonight, so he might be able to lead us about the city a little bit. Even if I don't get the chance to explore today, I'll only be 4 hours by train from Moscow, so I'll definitely be able to make it back for a weekend or two.
