Later on we couldn't get Landon a second nap so we decided to go out and walk around. We went to Arbat Streeta little to the west of the hotel. Arbat Street is a long pedestrian street with lots of shops and street artists. There are artists that draw portraits and scenes, some that have paintings, some musicians along the way. A very cool (and long) street and at the end was a Hard Rock Cafe that we got a burger at (to go). We ate on the steps of some building. It was very tasty and 'real' food (and not very expensive). We then walked back to the hotel, fed Landon a snack and then got him to bed. We are tired from both the lack of sleep and the walking. The architecture here is neat and there are nice parks and fountains around.
One thing I thought was cool was in one park-y area closer to the hotel that we walked through, it was lined with (among other things) lilacs. My grandmother had lilac bushes at her house, which was next to mine where I grew up in Brunswick. I planted some at our house for my Dad and hopefully they will one day be big also.
One other thing after today's McD's meal. Their pancakes are different and we had the village potatoes again. The pancakes were thinner and not as 'tasty' as McD's pancakes in the states. Maybe more like crepes. They also don't give syrup, just honey or jam. The Village Potatoes are potato wedges with a seasoning on them. I should email McD's to see if they will sell them in the US, they are real good.
So, sleep soon and then heading out tomorrow. Sorry for a lack of detailed posts. Not as much free time as in Kras due to the screwed up schedule and Landon having screwy naps. If I don't post much tomorrow then I will try and make u for it when we get home.

Glad to know you found some addtional "real" food. I'm sure a burger was tasty! I know it's hard for you all to get the rest you need to catch up, but you'll be home soon and can get on your own schedule - hopefully very quickly. We are all anxiously awaiting Saturday night. It will be a joyous reunion for all who love you most! Bon Voyage,
Mawma and Papa
looking forward to seeing the family return soon. Get some American food in that American boy's belly. That'll fill him up.
Uncle Dave (that sounds so weird, but I love it)
Your blog has been great. Really enjoyed hearing about your experiences. Can't wait to meet Landon and see you both again. It sounds like a wonderful match for you guys (and Landon, too!). Hope your trip home is uneventful and safe.

Aww, you'll be home soon! The time has really gone by fast....I bet you can almost taste Cracker Barrel lol.
Hope you have a safe trip home. Talk to you soon!

We can almost taste Cracker Barrel, milk, cereal, coffee, tap water, Chinese takeout, pizza, arby's, pork barbecue, fruit, salads, grilled cheese sandwiches, and the list goes on.
It will be nice to get back to a normal diet and normal foods (not the yucky milk).
