All
packed for the trip, here we are getting ready for the flight to NYC. My
wife and son, my boss (Penny), a friend Jan, all out to see us off. |

Here
we have arrived at the "office", a communications center that hosted the
web site "MostNet" and other services. Staffers were happy to pose for
a picture. |

Many
(most!) evenings were spent in a very comfortable apartment, enjoying the
hospitality of Alexander and his wife Natasha. |

The
bottom floor of the motel had a restaurant with excellent Russian crusine.
A wedding was going on this same night, with dancing to mostly American
pop music. |

David
poses next to a bust of Alexander the Great. The placque says that part
of the 15th century wall that surrounded early Moscow was found here while
digging the subway tunnels. |

There
was a time, not long ago, that visitors would not be allowed near the gates
of the Kremlin, much less inside the fortress walls. We were free to roam
the entire area. |

We
were in Moscow to put into operation a distance learning/exchange project
that would allow children to exchange experiences, ideas, and discover
that they were not so different than other children, many thousands of
miles away. |
