Saturday was our day off with no visits, so we spent a bit of time exploring the city.
-found the Subway restaurant just over a 10 minute walk from the hotel and it was nice to have lunch from a place with a familiar menu.
-The Astrakhan Kremlin is a short walk from our hotel in a different direction and we have been there a couple of times, but yesterday afternoon we took a longer walk and circled the Kremlin. This walk included a visit to the swan pond, walk through Lenin square, and some time spent in the park across the street from the Kremlin bell tower.
- During our walks we passed the Love bridge a couple of times (near the hotel) and since it was a Saturday there were multiple wedding parties taking photos on the bridge each time. At one time there were 3 wedding parties all on the bridge at once.

It sounds like you are doing lots of sightseeing in Astrakhan during the 10-day wait, just like many of us fellow adoptive parents have done. We never did find the Subway, so glad to hear you were successful in that quest for some American food. I'm also glad to hear you have some other people to speak English to - that sure helps!
