Christmas Eve in Moscow

Today was Christmas Eve. It snowed most of the day, and it was the coldest day of the trip: high of 16 degrees! But we braved the cold and ventured by taxi to a shopping center in Moscow to look for last minute souvenirs. It was quite an adventure!

The five of us in a Russian Lada taxi! Glen in front with the driver, and everyone else in the back (Sam on Jessica's lap)! Coming back was the same, although it took us awhile to get a taxi to take us. We did a lot of shopping, and not much buying (Jessica bought two CDs). But it was not boring!

We had dinner at "Yelki-Pelki" (this one a Mongolian BBQ). Good, but confusing. Nathan decided he didn't want to walk in the cold to the book store, so we all came back to the room. The boys went swimming (for the last time) and the girls vegged in the room (again!). Just another Christmas Eve in the Haworth family!

We are ready to come home! Oleg will pick us up at 9:00 in the morning, and we'll be on our way! First to New York (JFK), where we'll go through customs, then on to LAX, arriving at 10:30 PM on Delta (Song). We hope to see a lot of you there!

We'll keep posting here even after we get home, so if you're interested, keep logging on. The adventure will continue!

Merry Christmas, everyone, from Moscow Russia!
