Washer

For those of you who are curious about our German washer, here are a few pics. I also forgot to mention earlier that it is also a dryer! It is handy to have the combo, but we have such a nice balcony for drying clothes I wouldn’t want to waste that space. Also less electricity used. 🙂

The first couple tries it was taking me all day to do one load! So crazy! Today I started a little earlier and got two loads in, it was very exciting! And yes, exciting enough for me to use this many exclamation points!

Sightseeing

Hi Friends,

Today we played tourists and made a trip to Red Square. It was awesome! We have seen so many pictures of St. Basil’s & the Kremlin in photos and movies but to actually be there? So cool! I hope you enjoy the pictures and if you come visit we can take you there, it’s only a 30 minute metro ride.

Thanks for checking out our blog!

We finished up the day with dinner at a local Russian restaurant. Liver & fried onions over mashed potatoes - yum!

Metro & IKEA!

Hi Friends,

Today we had a chance to visit the Swedish store IKEA. This is the most popular place to buy furniture & other household items. There were a couple items that we needed to get for our apartment so we had a fun time walking through the store. It’s huge! After that we headed over to the food court in the mall to get some dinner. Burger King just came to Moscow and our friend Julie has not had a Whopper for 3+ years so she was excited to eat there. I also posted some more pics of the Metro that we ride almost everyday. Enjoy!
