Moving on from St. Petersburg, we explored and met up with friends in bustling Moscow, Russia. (Quick shout-out to Ekaterina K.: Kate, we can’t thank you enough for everything you did to make sure our stay in Moscow was truly memorable!)

Our stay in Moscow would not have been the same without our newest friend, Ekaterina–who coincidentally was introduced to us by our other great Russian friend, Ekaterina! Thank you for EVERYTHING ladies! (Next time, we’ll definitely meet you in Chelyabinsk!)
