Day 2 in Moscow

Overlooking Downtown Moscow


So we had a fun-filled day with some Russian "expert" doctors!

We started out the day with about 12 hours sleep...which neither of us had done in years!

Then we went down to the buffet breakfast, which was amazing (no horse meat!)

We ventured out onto the Moscow streets, which in itself is a death defying adventure! Surprisingly it only took us about 20 minutes to get there (not like the 3 hour car ride back to the airport...ehhh!)

So we get to the docotor's offices and it has a typical old soviet "mental hospital" feel to it! Even the "dr's" look like doctors out of a russian movie. We had 8 "specialist". The only specialists I thought were "legit" were the general practitioner, dermatologist and psychologist. The others were a bit sketchy. For example ( Scott's going to kill me for saying this) but he had to drop his drawers in front of the 70 year old woman dermatologist. Why she needed to feel around down there is beyond me! I got a good laugh out of it. No, we weren't in the same room during our visits but he had our translator in the room at the time! Even more funny! I did feel it a bit odd that the "surgeon" asked me to take off everything above the waist (and there was no paper gown...you can just use your imagination!! STRANGE!

We ended up paying the head doctor outside in a courtyard. It's a little scary throwing around that kind of cash in a courtyard!

After our 3 hour death defying drive we are sitting in a cafe in the MONSTROUS Moscow airport awaiting our 10:55 flight to Kras. Hopefully it goes better than the last one. Scott was able to choose our seats so we got the seats in the first exit row...yay! Pray for no B.O. Well, that's not gonna happen but you can pray anyways!!
