New Year's Run
Our team consisted of two parts, the half-ringers and the full-ringers. The half-ringers, already in full stride, Liz and Lola, show their enthusiasm for the day's adventure.
The full-ringers, obviously unaware of what lay ahead, smiled for the camera... smiles we would not see again until 10+ miles later! Okay... maybe once or twice...
We were close to approaching Red Square and on our way to the finish line. Here's a shot of us crossing Крымский Мост.
Just another quick bridge, and we were almost there. What a magnificent sunrise. It's amazing to imagine just what this location would have been like hours before, teeming with people celebrating the new year with friends and family from all over Russia! But at 8 in the morning, it was fairly easy to grab a picture at this usually crowded vista.
Finally, the Starlight Diner, our finish line and makers of a fantastic breakfast for all hungry runners! A little more worn, a little less energetic, but quite satisfied. Guess it's time to retire the running shoes...
Or maybe not! (This means you too, Dan!)

Christmas in Moscow

Merry Christmas!
To those of you who thought our Christmas picture background a little "too good to be true," here's further proof of ice skating on Red Square. This video is particularly dedicated to members of CU Intramural Hockey Team "Eh." Miss you all, eh... please come visit and we'll shoot some more footage, eh!

Sunday Tea!
My favorite meal of the week is Sunday tea. A hangover from my family's England days. I always enjoyed having tea, crisps, cheese, fresh bread, egg salad, and sausage rolls. As Rachel and I make our new home in Moscow we've decided to make Sunday tea one of those traditions that we hope our children can enjoy when they're grown up.
Although the food (and tea!) itself is essential, what makes it even more fun is praying a vespers service from the book of common prayer, reading some scripture, and then talking about God.
The next time you are in Moscow swing by on a Sunday night and break some (freshly baked) bread with us!
