More smog
Yesterday the smog here was really bad! And it just got worse as the night went on. We kept all our windows closed, but that just made it really warm in the apartment. Hopefully soon the nearby peat bog fires will go out and the heat will cool down. Thankfully today the smog wasn’t as bad, but it’s still very hot.
Here are some pics of the smog:

On a happier note:

Out and About
Hi Friends!
Today I (Micah) needed to run an errand in a part of Moscow that I had never been to. So, I enlisted the help of my language helper Andrei and we went together. He was a great help with directions, I don’t think I could have done it without him. Here are a couple pictures from the afternoon.
Thanks for checking out our blog!
Just got off the metro, ready to go above ground

Train Station
Yeah, that's a ship on top - not sure what it represents but I thought it was pretty cool.
Waiting for the trolley bus. I'm drinking my favorite drink here in Russia, Kvass, it's so good on a hot day!
Photos from the window
Yes, there is something growing from the cactus
I’m assuming this little growth my cactus is having is about to become a flower. I’m really interested to see what it will look like.
After I took these pictures, I look over at Violet and she’s “fixing” the remote. Didn’t even know it needed to be.
Also, I just discovered a panorama feature on our camera. So here are some views from our apt.
From the living room window
The building on the right in the last picture is the building on the left in the next one, since we have a corner apartment.
