From Russia with (ginger) love
... The tube station below the train station is packed solid. After a long wait, I purchase, using my best Russian, a subway pass with ten rides. Moscow holds my favourite subway network. London is modern with little character, in my opinion, New York is fun ...

Off to Moscow. 72hrs.
So I had to leave my Russian mamacita in Irkutsk and head off to Moscow, and that gave me a good 72 hrs via train to think about her. Ahhhh, the memories. I got pretty good at hearts and rummi, and I got caught up on any sleep I had been deprived of for ...

Moscow on a Wet Day
The day dawned clear, but quickly clouded over, precluding photography with shadows--so the next best thing to do was to take the Metro to the Tretyakova Gallery...which accommodated me with a self-propelled wheelchair (my arms), so I quickly was the ...
The capital
I was so stressed out about getting around this city that I actually learned cyrillic on the train ride in. Turns out I finally find some English in this city. The first sight of St Basil actually took my breath away. Red Square and Lenin's Tomb were ...
