Moscow Metro Tour

By | Travel | No Comments

We were on the go! Non stop! 🙂  Richard gave us a tour of the Moscow Metro!  I almost missed this since I was so tired already – but my Dad forced me to go and made sure I included this in my website!!  I am so glad I listened to him! 🙂  

Thank you again Richard for the tour!  We went at night so that it is not as crowded as during the day or rush hour

 

We went to several stations and they were all so beautiful!!!

The Metro serves as a bomb shelter as well

Rub the nose of the dog for good luck!   We need that 🙂

Father Mike

By | Travel | No Comments

 It was time for Sunday mass so Richard and Sasa took us to their Parish where they go to

father-mike-5.jpg

 The parish priest is Father Michael Ryan who is a Marist priest born in Ireland and raised in England.  He spent ten years in Mindanao.  Coincidentally, he was assigned to Our Lady of Mt Carmel in New Manila where he met Sasa’s parents.  Sasa’s Mom taught him how to make pandesal because she was afraid he was not going to have enough to eat in Mindanao 

He has been living in Moscow for over ten years and ministers to several different communities including diplomats, French and English speaking Africans and Filipinos

Farmer’s Market at Moscow

By | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

Sasa took us to this market, Dorogomilovsky, which is a fresh market!

dorogomilovsky-market-moscow.jpg

We always try to go to the local fresh market in every country we go to.  I did not know that photos were not allowed till I went out of the place!  Maybe that’s why some people were getting mad at me yet some people were okay with it and even smiling at me 🙂

 honey!!

Love how they display their fruits!!!

and vegetables

This guy was happy 🙂

Dairy section! Cheese!!

Caviar for 1/3 to 1/2 the price from the supermarket at Gum

I told you they were happy 🙂

There’s a bakery on the side but it was closed already when we got there

honey!!

Bosco Fiori

By | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

Even after lunch, we are thinking of food! 🙂  Richard and Sasa took us to this beautiful supermarket in the mall.  I guess it is cheaper to go food shopping than fashion shopping, so I’ll vote for food shopping 🙂

It’s a long strip and goes down a long stretch in the mall on the ground floor

No. 57

By | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

It was already 3pm and we had not had our lunch so as soon as we arrived at the mall, we went to eat!

The place was full at 3pm!  

It is a self service type of place – get your tray and put what you see in the assembly line 🙂

Desserts in the beginning of the line til you reach the end with bread -reverse! 🙂

When I took this photo, there was still 1 piece of chicken ala kiev in the very end- well that was the last for the day! haha.  And it was very good!  My sister got that piece and it had cheese also aside from just butter
