Correction

In my rant, I said the map online showed the Orphanage as being hundreds of meters. It is really about 7.5 miles form our hotel. Still takes an hour to get there but it has taken me an hour to get 7.5 miles in Boston at times too. The traffic is still worse here. Some people follow lights when they want. We have some people want to be the last person through a red light. Here, the last person may also be the first person through the next green light.

Next time here we will stay at a hotel much closer to where we need to be. We are still happy we stayed here due do its proximity to major tourist sights including the Kremlin, St. Basil's Cathedral, Red Square and Arbat St.
