Today was COLD. I know, I'm not in Moscow yet, but still. Trust me. I also got sick. Not deathly ill or anything, just upset stomach followed by sore throat, and deciding to venture out into the COLD (16 degree Fahrenheit plus windchill that takes it down to 0 Fahrenheit) weather was probably not the best idea ever.
Oh well. I just reserved a super shuttle to the airport because I don't want to deal with hauling all my crap through the subway. $51 for three of us. lame, but probably a good idea.
I find it ironic that in the last 24ish hours I've gotten 2.5 ideas of where to find people I know. siiigh. But, I'm ready to get out of here. Feeling more like going home than heading to Russia after this nutty week, but so it goes, so it goes.
I did manage to see the Statue of Liberty today, though there was no way I was going to pay $12 to freeze my hands off (no seriously, I had on gloves and they were painfully numb). Then I went to the library and saw the original Winnie the Pooh! That required some serious subway navigation skills.
Now I'm going to go chill, rest, nibble on food, take tylenol and/or cough drops. le sigh.

Glad you got to see the SofL, and especially Poo. You've really seen a boat-load of stuff for your short accidental stay. The long plane flight will be a welcome relief tomorrow, I bet -- give you a chance to get over the sniffles. I found I got visual overload pretty quickly in NYC! Hope you get to see Rachel tomorrow, and that your trip and airport adventure is as uneventful and it needs to be.
