And a photo of the general grounds, plus a modernistic building that seemd like a gymnasium or something similar

Well, not really - just an olde lecturer's trick - ladies stand up first and are asked to hold their hands clasped together, and then the gentlemen ar also asked to stand, but to hold their hands slightly apart.
It looks like applause if you don't scrutinise the photo too much... But now it was time to return to the airport! And the Moscow traffic - a 4-lane highway that was jammed for 20 of the 27 kilometres to the airport and which took nearly 2 hours to traverse... .

Still, I at least had the company of a taxi driver who enjoyed speaking English - constantly... for two hours... about everything and anything - I could almost have been in a London taxi cab!
Time enough, though to take some shots of aprtments and other buildings - sorry, that's about it!

Welcome back. It sounds like a hectic trip, but the pictures are cool and you must have had a little free time.

I've done that awful red-eye "leave at 10pm arrive at 5am" flight with Aeroflot, it really is hell and certainly not the best way to prepare to give a lecture - your employers surely don't love you very much ...
 The pics of Moscow made me homesick for it - I'll try to remember to look out some I took six or so years ago when I was living there ...
