Day Four - Visiting Annabelle

It was another good day. The 60k drive is taking about one hour each way and our driver Yuri is well aware of all the shor cuts and takes the belief that he would rather drive an extra 5k as long as he is moving. Yesterday his horns stopped working and it was fun to watch him beating and pushing on it as it is his natural reaction. We want to send him an air horn to installl as he would love it.
Our visit with Annnabelle was a pleasant 90 minutes as she was wearing the same red velvet Christmas dress we met her in on Tuesday. She is such a content little girl and is very happy playing with just a coule of toys and being held. She is ready to walk and we used our limited space to hold her hands and walk her around. We still have one visit left tomorrow. We will have no access/limited access to the internet for the next day but will post tomorrow. We can't wait to head home on Sunday although we leave a part of our hearts in Moscow.
