We Left and Joined The Circus

All is well in Russia. Spring is only a few days away, but the temperature is hovering at -8 c. And, let's not even get started on the wind chill brrrr.

We arrived yesterday afternoon and after a short nap took in the Old Moscow Circus. The performances were great...lots of gymnasts, acrobats, dancers, clowns and all kinds of performing animals. Monkeys on motorcycles, poodles in a conga line, parrots riding little bicycles and more. We'd tell you about the others, but we arrived 20 minutes late for the show since our Metro (subway) adventure took a little longer than expected. Thank goodness for a kind Russian woman that showed us the way.

The circus ringmaster was difficult to understand, but one thing was clear, monkeys dressed up in goofy clothes and dancing to Living la Vida Loco is funny stuff in any culture.

Today was another travel day. We left Moscow for Rostov around 3 p.m. and are getting ready to join another couple for dinner shortly. We are anxiously wishing the hours away as we leave to see Bohdan Sergei tomorrow at 10 a.m. Then, it's off to see Eliana Inna in the afternoon.

If technology is our friend, we'll post new pictures of the kids asap. All the best.
