After Alex, Mav and I returned to their place from seeing the sites in Moscow, we sat down for some lunch.  Mav brought out some beer he brought back with them from their trip to Thailand over Christmas.  I knew I had better pace myself since I hadn’t drank any alcohol since my first arrival into Saudi Arabia.  It didn’t work out as well as I’d hoped.

Mav and I traded pictures taken earlier in the day, and relaxed for a bit while their daughter took a nap.  Since the food here isn’t the best, we decided on a restaurant for dinner.  An American owned restaurant that Alex and Mav enjoy eating at.  Arriving to the restaurant, I was already feeling the effects of the alcohol from the few beers I had at the house.  The food was out of this world, and the waitress kept the beers flowing.  The manager came over and talked with us for a while as well.  I was very impressed with the restaurant and would recommend it to anyone visiting Moscow.  Alex, I can’t remember the name of the restaurant, so please leave me a comment.

Now, at this point I am quite intoxicated.  On our way home, we stopped at a kiosk that sold alcohol.  These are located on almost every street.  Its brilliant! HAHA.  Our driver drove the Tahoe off the road and onto the sidewalk cutting off a few people arriving there as well thus ensuring we were served first.  Making our selection from the variety of beers (Mav choosing since I had no knowledge of the beers there) we bought 6 more beers for the house.  As soon as we finished our purchase, the kiosk closed and didn’t sell to the others waiting.  Talk about perfect timing.

We sat back at the house enjoying our adult beverages and music, talking more about things we’re involved in at this point in our lives.  It was great conversation.  The time with my friends was great, I couldn’t have asked for a better day.  The next day, I would pay for my actions.
