Last Day in Moscow - For Now

Here we sit in the hotel lobby using the free wi-fi, waiting to go to bed, and more importantly waiting to hop on a plane tomorrow to come home.

This morning we had to see two specialists - the oncologist and the neurologist.  The neurologist is the only specialist that actually did something other than ask us questions.  He checked our reflexes, made us close our eyes and touch our pinky fingers to our nose, and checked our balance.  The good news is --- both Dave and I passed!  The only thing left to do was in the hands of our translator/coordinator.  She had to spend some additional time getting signatures from the board of directors and the chief of staff. 

After leaving the clinic, we had our driver take us to Red Square and the Kremlin.  It was really quite amazing to see, especially Saint Basil's Cathedral.  We will post pictures when we return of the cathedral and the "onion domes."  We spent the remainder of the afternoon shopping for Russian hockey jerseys for dad and Tyler along Arbat Street. 

We will post some additional pictures when we get home this weekend ... after spending some much needed quality time with Meg and maybe enjoying our pool!
