Russian Hospitality







It must not go without mention as to how incredibly hospitable and gracious Anastasiya's family and friends have been! Every day of our trip has been filled with phone calls and offers to take us over to see the different sights of Moscow (and beyond) and spend time together. Sasha, Olga, Konstantin, Anton, Pasha, Damir, and Alexey you guys are the best!! From seeing the sparrow hills, gory nature preserve, and street racing all on our first night here, to taking us over to all of the magnificent parks, starry arabat, shopping centers, eating at Putin's favorite hangouts, sightseeing in the city center day and night, the endless invites, dinner parties every night of the week, and the nightlife - - we have been treated so extremely wonderfully. This has been a memorable trip to say the least, and we owe much of it to the remarkable Russian culture's hospitality.
