it's raining, it's pouring

Today we got to go on a bus tour of Moscow. This sounds really cool, and could have been really cool except it was cold and raining all day. It was fine while we were on the bus with the heater was on passing by buildings, but we made frequent stops and got out and walked around. Generally, we we all frozen mainly because we were wet and it was super rainy. However, it was good to get a perspective of where everything is in relation to each other. We stopped at the over look we went to on Friday, and we also stopped at Red Square where we stayed in the rain for awhile,but then went into a really nice mall to dry off and get warm for a bit before we went back out into the rain and on the bus. We also stopped at a Convent that looked pretty cool. After the tour which was four hours, we were all so tired we went home to sit and relax. My friend Sarah and I drank some tea and changed before heading out to a fireside. The fireside was in Russian so that was interesting, but it was also about marriage. I guess all the youth get the same talk everywhere. Ha. It was really kinda funny. Well at first, the fireside lasted almost 2 hours which is a lot anyway but especially in a language you do not understand. After the fireside, Sarah and I came home and ate dinner which was good as always, and are so beat we are just going straight to bed.

This is Ashley, me, and Linsey in the Mall in front of a fountain.
