Sunday Boat Ride!!

Sunday afternoon we took a Boat Cruise along the Moscow River with the American Women's Organization or AWO - which by the way I just joined yesterday. I signed up for half a dozen interest groups - including bowling, Gourmet Nooners, Indian Cooking, Understanding Russia, Game Night for Couples, and Cultural Art around Moscow. Oh yeah and Belly Danicing - oops almost forgot that one. That should be interesting!?!

Anyways, back to the Boat Cruise....It was a beautiful day - not too hot and not too cold - perfect. About 100 or so people were aboard the boat - which is comparable to the Gateway Clipper in Pittsburgh....it was amazing to hear the places these couples have been and they have lived as expats for the past 20 plus years - most people work for the big oil companies so they have lived in Nigeria, Dubai, various places in Asia and South America - very impressive!

Check out our pics....
