A new acquaintance
... once a nice market; now it is a cheap market akin to a mall in a ghost town. Near the building, we caught a bus up to the Kremlin, which we walked through and around. We then walked up the main pedestrian/shopping street for a while before stopping at restaurant with a rooftop terrace for some drinks. We talked of many things, notably the stereotypes that most Westerners have of Russia, and how far-off they truly are. Valerie does not like ...
