Last night, my group went to a fabulous place, Praga, for an evening of dinner and entertainment. We were ushered upstairs to a private room that had four very long tables with chairs on both sides. There was seating for about 90, I'd guess. The tables were absolutely packed with all sorts of Russian food and drink. Immediately upon being seated, a very attentive waitstaff decended on us, speaking very little but communicating very well.
The evening was almost beyond description...but within the next few days, I'll post descriptions and, if I can get my camera to cooperate, a very few photos.
I consumed vast quantities of exceptionally good vodka, but my consumption was dwarfed by that of some of my hardier colleagues. Some of the foods included a beetroot concoction with horseradish, dozens of kinds of pickled and unpickled fish, beef, sausage, garlic...just too much to even try to wrap my brain around this 'morning after.'
And the dancing....the singing...the gypsies...it was a mind-boggling experience!
