It's now been over a week since I've returned from Moscow. Despite the bitter cold--and yes, it was really cold--there was so much that we were eager to see and do. The reason for the trip was that my boyfriend's father lives in Moscow, and he this year decided to throw a milestone birthday celebration. Even though our days were action-packed and awesome, I can't shake the feeling that I have experienced only a fraction of what I ought to have. I'm hoping that what this means is that there will be a sequel to this post in the very near future.
