River cruise

Today we went to a park (воробы горы) on the river and went on a river cruise on the Moscow river. It passed by several famous Moscow landmarks, such as St. Basil's, the Kremlin, and the Church of Christ the Savior. It was fun, but we didn't know that the tickets we bought were only one way; thankfully, it stopped near my host family's apartment! Sorry no pictures, I keep forgetting my camera! A lot of the guys here carry around small purses that they keep their stuff like cameras in(man purses as we call them), but I don't want to do that. Most everyone is leaving tomorrow, but there will still be a few of us left. Some of the guys are going to a soccer game tonight. Tickets for sporting events are cheaper here than in the states (400 rubles for a good seat, about $13-$14)(cheap seats are only 200 rubles), and it is a professional event between the best 2 teams in Russia. A similar NFL game in the US would cost a lot more than that for good seats! I hope to be able to volunteer at the American Center, which is only a block from where I live. I would be helping Russians practice their English.
