Sputnik: Not Just Business: How is Kerry Spending Time in Moscow?

US Secretary of State John Kerry was out and about in Moscow city center on Tuesday afternoon. He visited the Arbat Street which is famous for its souvenir stalls and artsy-shops and cafes.

“We were not warned, it just happened spontaneously. Suddenly, a large delegation led by John Kerry walked into our shop. He looked at our range of products, and then chose a Russian “Matryoshka” doll. It consists of six dolls, which together form a family. This set costs 8000 rubles. He also liked rag dolls in Russian national costumes costing 1,700 rubles each. He took three pieces. He explained that these are gifts,” the shopkeeper said.

WNU Editor: Arbat Street in Moscow ....  groan .... speaking of tourist traps .... and way too close to my condo. But the cafe shops are OK.
