Loving Moscow

Nothing can beat this breakfast. Really, what can! There was an actual piano with an actual guy playing it. He played the Godfather theme song Speak Softly, Love and many other classics. But the best part was when he played As Time Goes By...

I highly recommend visiting Moscow. It was said that Moscow is the most unfriendly city in the world. But to my experience, people were not only beautiful and stylish but very kind, friendly, helpful and they care. I saw a very clean and safe Moscow.






Of course, lunch was at Jaime's Italian. It was so good! And that truffle pizza... I need not say more. Cappuccino and Tiramisu, anyone? Great 70's music too!




One interesting place was the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts where it is full of plaster cast reproductions.

 

A huge plaster cast reproduction of David is there. It survived the World War II.









Also a plaster cast reproduction of Pietá. I have seen the original one many years ago at St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City.

Then there is the opera. What a great performance of the Phantom of the Opera. I was sat at the middle third row. Then lastly, two contrasting photos of Moscow...
