Heard from Eisboch Jr. He and his associate arrived at the hotel.

They are not happy campers. Says the hotel staff in Moscow are treating
them with disdain.
Not helpful, won't recommend a place to eat, and are going out of their
way
to be discourteous. He said it is obvious that Americans are not
appreciated there.

They walked around and found a place to eat and have a couple of beers.
When they tried to order the second round they were refused service.

Hopefully tomorrow, when they meet up with their hosts, things will get
better.

Interesting.

Richard, they probably didn't flash around enough greenbacks.

And probably for the better that they didn't.

I am afraid that the old "Ugly American" from the 50's novel has taken on a
new meaning.
