Living la vida Vodka

Unlike my first visit to Moscow, which was 2fast2furious2fuckinghot (37 degrees in Moscow?!?!), this visit found me a in a deeper state of relaxation. I had a lot of free time and I set out to discover the mysteries of the red square. As is the case in many of my travels I found myself in the middle of yet another demonstration. Luckily for me it was a quiet one and it was about the environment so no one got hurt (in other words – it was pretty boring ;) ).


I continued my foray deep behind the iron curtain and marveled at the fact that it was a beautiful day and that I was walking about this place as if it was just another tourist attraction in some sunny part of the world.


Everything was so bright and colorful, the sun was out and people were about.


Only my dear old friend Lenin reminded me of the history of this place. Shalom Haver.

I had intended to go into the mausoleum but there was a big line of people and I have never been a person to stand in line. Especially not in Moscow :)

One final note – I expect the next post here to have some nice pictures from Nepal. If not – I shall have my revenge. The people I’m addressing – you know who you are – beware! I know where you live!
