Москва!!

I'm finally able to get online and update this. There's so much to tell! My flights went very well. The flight from Tampa to New York was quick and easy, then I had a four hour layover in JFK. The flight to Moscow was my first international flight. I flew over on Aeroflot, the plane was pretty big, but I guess that's how international planes are. The flight was fine, no real turbulence. Got to Moscow and met the people from my program and got on the van to Moscow State University. On the way there we saw many interesting things. There are all kinds of little stands lined up on the street, lots of flower stands, and when I say lots, I mean lots. Sometimes there were two right next to each other. We got to MSU and got settled and then went to the cafeteria for dinner. There were lots of different foods that I didn't really know what they were but I tried them. Most everything was pretty good. The food was a little bland, but nothing a little salt couldn't fix. After that the group went to the nearby mall but my friend Andrew and I were behind and lost where they were. So we went back to the dorms. We met up with our teachers and another student who had come late. After that one of the grad students took the three of us to try and catch the group, and on our way there we saw most of them returning. So we continued on. When we got there we walked a little bit and went into a grocery store (kind of like a walmart or target) where we all got water (we can't drink the tap water) I also got some breakfast stuff. I have taken some pictures but I haven't uploaded them yet. In good time.
