Ok, more about Moscow and what I am doing there.  Moscow is a huge city of 16 million people.  The center of the city is connected by the metro.  The metro is very convenient to get around on, but unfortunately, I live in a small town on the outskirts of the city where the metro does not reach.  So, I take a train to get to the metro, and then I can get around the city.  I enjoy the public transportation.

Ok, in case you didn't know, I am spending my summer in Moscow teaching English.  I have been here three days and I have learned three Russian phrases (yes, no, and thank you).  I start teaching on Monday, which I was a little nervous about, but everyone here is so friendly.  My friend Linara took me to Red Square yesterday (since all the signs are in Russian, I cannot do the whole metro thing myself yet), and it was fun.  I guess that is all for today.
