"Viking" Riverboat Restaurant burning down – Moscow, 30 April 2010
Never thought I would say "Priv-Et" - that is "Hello" in Russian. But life takes you on unexpected turns, and you may as well buckle in and enjoy the ride.
So I spend much of my time in Moscow now days with my " muzh" (husband in Russian), and have some incredible photo ops.
This photo op came completely by chance. We live across from This favorite, all wooden, floating restaurant called "Viking". I was coming back from my morning jog and saw something was wrong with the boat...
I witnessed the fire from the first tiny smoke cloud appearing, and someone running with a fire extinguisher trying to put it out, to 5 hours later, when the fire was finally put out with collaborate efforts of 15 fire trucks, one boat "fire truck", and numerous fire fighters.
Hopefully it will be re-build soon.

I'm smiling at the work "Muzh." Really big smile from ear to ear.
