Morag flew in to Moscow last night and today began the process of showing her around. I had planned Red Square but it transpired somebody was having a parade there so we deferred that for another day.
Instead we had a walk along the Arbat and then went out to Vernisazh market for a look at the touristy souvenirs and a shashlik for lunch. The guys and gals selling the shasliki are right showmen - you almost don't mind being ripped off. I can't grumble, he pretended to give me a skidka although of course the total was probably loaded anyway.
Here are a few photos from the day.
We're just off to the Bolshoi to watch La Traviata so here, for your delectation and enjoyment is the drinking song from La Traviata.
