Arthur - Thank you so much for making our visit to Moscow so enjoyable. Your knowledge of the landmarks we visited and history of Russia was impressive. It's obvious you love what you do. We had a great time hanging out with you - we felt like we were touring the city with a friend. Thanks also for making Lisa try the borsht (it was yummy, like you said!) and also thanks for helping us get some very nice photos of the city and good bargains at the old Arbot! We hope to see you on our upcoming visit! All our best - Lisa and Dave Alexander
