All together, we were in an apartment on New Arbat for 22 days on that second trip. We didn't, however, have Liam until the actual "Gotcha Day," so we used those 10 days to do some frostbitten sightseeing and hang out at Starbucks reading books. Wasn't exactly fun, but it was part of the experience and I wouldn't trade it for the world. I only regret that we didn't have a better mastery of the Metro. Sheesh, it was confusing!!
