Day 18 - Monday, Sept 30 - In Moscow
This morning I woke up with a full-blown cold, conjunctivitis, and
“intestinal” distress. My mother hasn’t been feeling well for
the past 5 days and missed many of the excursions.
We stayed in the
room all day, resting and watching TV. After watching several repeats
of international news on the BBC and EuroNews channels, we switched
to the English channel of Russia Today, the news channel run by the
Russian Government. I was surprise to see an hour-long program on the
Russian space program that featured Fyodor Yurchikhin who I had met
with the day before. It was very good and included the American
astronaut Jack Bishop who was on the same mission. Russia Today Space Program Movie
After that was a
VLOG mainly about swimsuit (largely young women in bikinis) skiing in
Siberia and Sochi during April. Youtube video of bikini skiing
Then a program about the Bolshoi
ballet school in Rio de Janiero for underprivileged students – the
only Bolshoi school outside of Russia.
Fortunately, we
aren’t traveling until tomorrow as it would have been exceptionally
difficult to travel today.
