Well, even though we were all exhausted, we decided a nice meal would be needed before we went to bed. David suggested dinner at the Metropol. A beautiful old hotel and restaurant that is across from the Bolshoy theatre and about a 3 minute walk to the Red Square. It was built in 1901, it's decor and architecture were designed in Art Nouveau style, with beautiful sculptures, paintings and fixtures. Since opening the Metropol Hotel it has been recognized as the most renowned Russian grand hotel and a favorite with the cosmopolitan society - from royalty and the aristocracy to luminaries in the arts and international affairs and of course us!
It was a beautiful evening, so after dinner we took a walk through the Red Square. It was about 10 p.m. and the city was a glow, with all the buildings lit up and people out and about. * I do miss living in NYC :(
We walked towards the Kremlin and Gum's and St. Basil's Cathedral, everything looked beautiful at night. Completely different than when David and I had seen it during the day. Below are a few pictures from our night out on the town.
Good Night or Good Morning! Where ever you are while reading this.

Hi all! Everyone looks terrific and Moscow is beautiful! Can't wait to see that baby!!!!
Good News!! GP Memorial Church will be proud to baptise Maksim! Mother will put you in touch with the proper person there. The new head minister adopted from China, so he is very much in tune with what you are going through right now.
Jack, Heidi and the boys are anxious to meet Maksim soon, so hurry back.
Love to all!

Hello,
You evening out on the town looked like a fabulous time. What did you have for dinner? What was the favorite drink? We would guess it had something to do with "wodka". Good luck on Monday, it will certainly go well. Save some energy for the journey home with Maksim!
Love you guys,
Sherry and Jeff
