one last entry while in Russia. I have really enjoyed this city. I highly recommend travelling here if you have the chance. While the other cities in Russia may be difficult to travel on your own, Moscow is very easy. I actually find it easier than France. A lot of people speak English and those who don't, seem very used to dealing with English. The hotels all speak very good english and they will help you out with taxis, restaurants etc. Of course the souvenir stands all speak enough english to sell all their stuff to tourists. Everything is very updated and modern, but the city itself is the main attraction. It's a beautiful and very old city. I recommend taking a city tour by bus. It is a guided tour, about 3 hours long and takes you all over the city with several stops to get out, and take pictures or buy souvenirs. It ends up with a walking tour around Red Square. The sites are spectacular and trust me, my pictures or those you see elsewhere do not do it justice.
We found the people very friendly and tolerant to the lanquage barrier and those of us learning how things work. It can be an expensive city so you must plan carefully in advance to find the hotel. Your experience will hinge directly on your choice of hotel. Of the places I have visited, Moscow tops my list as a place to come back to with Melanie for vacation.
