I now have a week left in Russia, and the list of things I wish to see is just as long as it has ever been. We have had more free time, and I have spent a lot of it sitting in different parks around the city. Most notably, I found Partriarch’s Ponds, which is featured prominently in Bulgakov’s Master and Margarita. A lot of where Bulgakov set the novel still exists, including his apartment. It is now a museum of sorts, where people just hang out and talk about literature. A large black cat lives there, named Begemot, of course.
Tomorrow, will be spent at the dacha. I am very much looking forward to a day outside of Moscow. Maybe there will be squirrels!
