For the last three months, I have been living in a blessed bubble, shielded from my every day roles and responsibilities at home and protected by dear wife's knowledge of this country and her ability to communicate and get things done here in Russia.
That womb-like bubble is about to burst.
Soon, I will be back home and subject to the laws of life. I will be back in the USA, back to schedules and responsibilities, back to the grind of every day life from which my Russian bubble can no longer shield me.
On our way to the metro, we stopped in GUM, the grand retail space that is actually a mall of high-end boutiques and designer stores.
Here are some photos to mark the day.
