Mom and I decided to be adventurous since we had a few hours before our flight out of Moscow. Actually Mom tagged along because she didn’t want me going alone. So we scheduled a cab to pick us up and take us into the city bright and early. Traffic was terrible. It took us an hour to get to the Red Square. Mom was worried about our time, so we quickly walked through Red Square, grabbed a couple souvenirs and went to grab another cab back to our hotel. Unfortunately, they hiked the prices up to almost double what it was to go to the city. So while we tried to get a cheaper price with a taxi cab driver, another one came along and said he would take us for a fair price. It wasn’t until we were in the car that we realized he was not a taxi driver. Just a regular citizen. We were a little nervous because we had all of our money and passports on us. But thank goodness, he got us to our hotel without any issues. It was a long flight back to Utah, but glad to be home and happy we had such an amazing experience in Russia!
