More pictures

This was my breakfast the first morning. It's pretty typical. That's berry jam in the dish on the plate. Sometimes they eat it just straight. That's very hard for me as it is even sweeter than American jam.

This is a picture I took at the Prospect Mira metro station. I wanted to show how elaborately some are decorated. I had to be a little furtive with the picture taking as I don't think it is strictly allowed.
This blurry photo is of the lights in the Mendelev station. They look very atomic, so we were trying to remember who Mendelev was. Speaking of which, some of the metro stations can very obviously be easily converted into bomb shelters. I always wonder as I walk through whether those very heavy doors close on their own if a disaster butten is pushed or whether a bunch of soldiers would suddenly appear to push them closed.
I'll try to get some better pictures ready to post the next time.
