It is often difficult to travel, to live out of a suitcase. To truncate ourselves into an overhead storage bin. This group, however, I feel has quickly grown into the comfy walking shoes we brought with us. We don't fit in, but we don't always throb our American beacon.
I now know some things about theater. We have seen half of the days pass, and then at night we run off to one of the hundred and forty theaters in Moscow. Firstly theater is cheap. The government subsidises each theater, so tickets to a ballet the other day, were only 8 dollars. Secondly paid work is cheap. The sets in almost every theater have been the most impressive aspects of the show. This is not only because I don't speak the language well either. They are dedicated to the best. In the words of a famous film director we met yesterday, "They work until it is done." He was speaking of his students, but this goes for the lot of them.
We have had many lucky experiences so far on this trip, Marc has many connections here.
I saw Lenin's body today. Strange.
I must go, my time at this computer is finished.
