Mockba (Russian for Moscow) part 2

Step count: 26,820
Today started off at the World War II Museum where we met with
Kristy's friend Masha. While we were waiting for her we saw a boy
walking by wearing a BYU shirt. He is from Uzbekistan and bought the
shirt at a legitimate store, not some junky market. He had no idea
what BYU was.
After the museum we ate at Hard Rock and I got another shirt for my
collection. It deserves its own post so you don't get to see it yet.
We came back to the hotel to get our jackets and use a clean bathroom,
one squatter in a day was plenty (WWII Museum). After that we went to
the Russian Space Museum. It had tons of cool space stuff and it was
Bret's favorite of the trip.
Another cool park was close by so of course we went. We rented a
different kind of bike and had a much better experience. Everyone got
to pedal and it wasn't nearly as difficult. One of the coolest things
you could do at this park was water zorbing. The little kids looked
like they were having fun. We got the best fresh donuts from a street
vendor in the park. I could eat them forever.
Next we went to dinner with more of Kristy's mission friends. It was
all traditional Russian food and was a good way to try lots of new
things. We walked around for a bit before coming back to our hotel
where we quickly went to the hot tub. Now I'm very relaxed and ready
to take on my last day in Moscow tomorrow. Until next time!
