Riding The Metro, Part Deux

All three of us went to Red Square this time. I'm glad Tara was able to see it. Elizabeth was fascinated, too, but probably won't remember a thing.
We then had lunch at Sbarro in the underground mall, where Tara bought some more souvenirs.
One more night, then we leave! We'll see some of you Sunday night at the airport. Some of you others, well, who knows? :)
This is the last blog post in Russia!

I'm glad you all got to go to the Red Square too. Elizabeth will remember it if you keep showing her the pictures (maybe). I wish I could be seeing all of you Sunday night too. Have a very good Christmas and Happy New Year!
