So far this week, we've mostly just hung around here, watching DVDs. On the tourist side, we saw Red Square, with St. Basil's, the Kremlin, and GUM. Yesterday, we went to Novoditchi Cemetery beside the convent of the same name. Really interesting. Lots of granite monuments and huge busts. This was their field of glory: Military heros, generals, cosmonauts, composers, surgeons, and ballerinas. It was all more than a little overgrown, which led it to have a very garden feel. We also went to old Arbat street and ate at Hard Rock while we played "spot the tourist." Today we went to Ismalavad market and we bought a bunch of movies and some music. I looked at the chess sets but just didn't see any that I liked.
We watched Mr. and Mrs. Smith as we ate McDonalds back at the apartment. A dumb summer flick, but still fun. Chase got all his stuff together and we said goodbye before he hopped into the company taxi to the airport. He's got a long long long layover in London. I dont envy his ordeal getting through all the lines and russian beurocracy at the airport, but he'll be fine.
