Wednesday, May 23 was heralded by both of our classes. The morning was dedicated to conversation with Татьяна Алексеевна, and the afternoon was граматика with Владимир Алексеевич. Both were fairly standard. I successfully stumbled my way through my dialogue, primarily because I just had to ask for the directions, and listen to Carley’s response. Nothing too special.
No, the special came after the classes were over. Valentina Borisovna took us and Isabelle to go on a boat ride on the Moscow River. Perhaps it wasn’t too terribly eventful, but the view of Moscow from the river was great! I got some nice pictures from it as well. I shall see if I can manage to post some of them, but with the crazed internet connection here, I make no promises. Now, the boat had an interior and an upper observation deck. We probably would have hung around the upper deck the entire time, except for one itty-bitty problem: it was freezing. The first week or so of our trip, Moscow was experiencing an usual cold spike. Thus, things like sitting on the upper deck? Yeah, not happening. Still, I braved it in sporadic periods, got some really nice pictures, and had fun looking out the windows when I started to get a little too cold.
Other than that, we got some blini on our way back to the dorms, and that was more or less it. Not a lot, but something.
