Riding Horses

Just kidding! I didn't ride any horses, but my friends did. We planned on going to this park in the south of Moscow. One of my friends said we should get off early and take a bus, but I wanted to take the metro all the way and then walk. We ended up taking a bus, and we didn't see the park when we passed it. After going 30 minutes south of Moscow, the driver said we were nowhere near the park. When we asked where the metro was, he laughed and said "There's no metro out here!" We were in the boonies. We found another bus to take us back to a metro station, and had lunch. After that I had to leave to go to work at the American Center, so I didn't go to the park with the others or ride horses. I didn't really want to ride horses anyway. A new student from Stanford went with us. She probably thinks we don't know our way around Moscow! The other Stanford students (about 16-17 in total) will be arriving on Monday. I am kind of thinking of not volunteering at the American Center anymore, as speaking English doesn't really help me, and it is long hours and sometimes people show up late and then don't show up at all (had 2 no shows today). I still have to do a formal presentation on Atlanta and Georgia for the Center, but I think I will be too busy to continue doing the 1 on 1 conversations.
