Another fountain, with a bear and a wolf
St. Basil's CathedralWell I know I'm a day late, but happy thanksgiving! I couldn't write yesterday because I was busy making the cranberry sauce! We all went to our assistant Resident Director's house, Vika, and had a little Thanksgiving celebration. Some of the girls came early to cook the turkey and gravy. The slaved away all day and if Hilary, Allison, Paige,Kat, Jenna, or Jen are reading this, thank you so much guys! It was awesome. The rest of us made other things and brought it to Vika's house. We started to watch "2 Days in the Valley," a really funny and very, very strange movie to watch, especially on Thanksgiving. Some people thought that we should watch a Christmas movie and so those of us who preferred to watch a less traditional movie were overruled and we were forced to watch "A Christmas Story." Some of us prefer to watch "A Christmas Story" on Christmas Eve, and we watch it enough times to get a year's worth of watching in. Oh well. It was a really fun Thanksgiving. And everyone loved my cranberry sauce.
The other day I went to ГУМ, the old State Department Store. It's in red square and now it's a really, really posh shopping mall. They have a grocery store in there with chandeliers and marble floors, and 100$ hello kitty champagne (believe me.... I want it). The have signs in English reading "the sturgeon and beluga caviar can be purchased in the center hall."
Anyways, I'm off to my excursion. Today we're going to the metro museum and tonight the circus!
