Nice Car!

Well, we have been shocked at the number of luxury cars driving our the streets of Moscow, Russia.  It seems to be not just the elite, but a good deal of people have BMW, Mercedes Benz, Lexus, Porsche, all types of expensive, high-ends automobiles.  Today was the top though, while we cooled our jets on a bench in front of the massive Lotte Hotel, we realized there was a Rolls-Royce parked out front.  Most of these cars are chauffeured and not a small number of them seem to have large muscular body guards in the passenger seats.  Typically they are waiting outside until someone with a distinct air of importance is whisked into the back seat and the cars speed off.  Much like this Rolls-Royce did, not seemed to care a wit about others, seeming to assume everyone would stop for it.  (I also didn't realize how quiet a Rolls-Royce is...this particular one jetted off and we could not hear a thing.)
