Borsht and vodka

Last night in Moscow so it was back to Red Square to see if it looks any different at night, and I think it is even more impressive. Followed this up with some traditional borscht, potato dumplings and 4 different kinds of vodka. I learned the layering system of food - vodka - food plus the way of drinking vodka. Straight down in one. And when I was told the next one was going to be smaller to savour the taste, I got ready for a sip, but it was just the same. Down in one, just a smaller amount! Ouch
