Back to Snegiri

We made it back to our good old town of Snegiri. We traveled by train from Lugovsky Voksal(St.Petersburg) to Leningradsky Voksal(Moscow) on a 9 hour train trip. We had a lot of fun on this ride and it was much different than the ride going up. We had a really nice wagon that wasn't crowded at all and the seats were very comfortable. At first it was very cold and Wendy used my extra shirt as a blanket... and then all of a sudden the heaters kicked on and it was like 85 degrees inside the wagon and it was like a mild banya.
WE HAD A REQUEST FOR A PICTURE OF WHAT THE TRAINS LOOK LIKE... SO HERE IT IS
SEE HOW COMFY THE SEATS LOOK. IT"S LIKE AN AIRPLANE, ONLY MUCH BETTER AND THE SEATS RECLINED WAY FARTHER THAN IN AN AIRPLANE. AND MORE LEG ROOM.

Wendy was so worried because we were supposed to get in at 11:00 pm and we would have only one chance to catch the electrichka home. She prayed that our train would get in early so we could get home at a reasonable time. It was like 8 pm and I saw a train station that is a suburb of Moscow called Химки and I said " Wendy we are here, how did we get in 3 hours early?" and she looked at our tickets again and said "Whoops I read the ticket wrong we get in at 9 and not 11." I laughed at her because nurses are supposed to know military time and she made a funny boo boo.
WENDY TOOK A PICTURE OF THE RUSSIAN LANDSCAPE. GREEN, LOTS OF TREES... FLAT.

We got to Moscow and hopped on the metro and when we got off I saw a few people running and I thought to myself  "They know something that we don't" Sure enough we missed the electrichka by 5 minutes and had to wait an hour for another. Everything was fine in the end and we are safe and sound.
WOULD YOU BE BUMMED OUT ABOUT HAVING TO WAIT IN A METRO LIKE THIS? IT KINDA KNOCKS THE SOCKS OFF ANY AMERICAN METRO.
