Arrived in Moscow

We are here and other than some swollen feet and tired we are safe and sound and with all our luggage. A little bit of confusion at the duty free store in Toronto, but got that figured out and went for lunch and had a wonderful waitress that thought I had an accent from the States...he,he. Met up with a couple in Toronto also flying to Moscow adopting from the same orphanage and exchanged info. They are going on to St. Petersburg first to tour around before heading east to meet their baby boy. Demitri is our driver and has taken good care of us. Our hotel is a five star Presidental Hotel! Beautiful room with an entrance, bathroom, living room, bedroom and walk out balcony. The view is beautiful with lots of maple, birch and weeping birch trees towering everywhere. Our driver and lady at the hotel desk both speak pretty good English which has helped. Jason even got in a little of the Olympics on T.V. here (it was the only thing on he could figure out what was going on..he,he.) We are close to the airport and Demitri will be here to pick us up at 3:00pm and take us to the domestic airport tomorrow afternoon. We will spend the time sleeping finally and taking in everything to see. There is a wedding here today and we even snapped a picture of the bride and groom. We will be in a different hotel in down town Moscow on the way back through that we hear is even nicer but less trees. Right now it is 4:53pm and home is 6:53am both on Saturday. Love you Nathanael and miss you already! Hope to have access to the internet in Biro but if not we will when we get back to Moscow.
