Crazy Day Comes to an End

Hello loyal fans,
First off let me once again just say that I, and everyone I know in Moscow is okay and was unaffected by the terrorist attacks on the metro today. When I was leaving the apartment for class this morning, Sergey told me there was an explosion on the metro and I better have all of my documents on me today...however, it wasn't until I got to class that I learned the explosions we bombings by Chechen terrorists. Both metro stations that we bombed were not stations that I regularly go through, but I was in Park Kultury (the second bombed station) yesterday...thank goodness not today.
Aside from the bombings, today was a pretty normal day. There were certainly more police officers (militsiya in Russian) at each metro stop today, so I still felt safe. After classes I went with a few friends to a bar to have a couple of brews, watch some Russian sports, and talk about the craziness going on in Moscow.
It's now 12:21 in the morning and I have to get up early again for class so now it's time to sign off...no pictures to post, but on Wednesday we have a tour of the Kremlin (which I'm super excited for) so expect so photos after that.
P.O.G.S.
