It is about 4:30pm in Moscow and we have had a good day of rest and transitioning.  We stayed up late last night and had time today before boarding a plan to our destination of Khanty-Mansiysk.  It is raining cats and dogs (yes, the MN language comes in handy here too) but we have managed to get out and about a bit. We had a terrific lunch/breakfast and relaxing cup of coffee.  I worked with a colleague from the Institute for Human Services, Betsy, to finalize our presentation for Tuesday at the conference.  We are headed to the airport soon and will post some new photos and updates once we arrive.

Edit to the Post:  Because it was raining we had an opportunity to take a taxi ride through Moscow (we were on a mission to find the Moscow Harley Davidson store for a specific souvenir).  We survived the taxi ride (that feels like a considerable success!) got the souvenir and returned in time to head to the airport.
