Around the World in Sixteen Challenges, Thursday, February 4, 2016
It was practically spring-like in Moscow today--hovering a few degrees above freezing!--as the students grouped around Obi-Wan and Anakin in Red Square.
"Welcome to Russia," Anakin said, hood pulled up to protect hishair ears. "This is Moscow, its capital. As is customary by now, you must complete one task with your partner, and then two tasks on your own before finding us again to head back to the relative warmth of Maryland."
Before Obi-Wan could get in a word edgewise, Anakin clapped his hands. "Your first assignment is a team one. See those men?" He pointed to a group of well-dressed Russian men. "They are waiting for you to bring them their brides from their apartments all over Moscow."
He handed each team a poor-drawn map with all of the street names scrawled in Cyrillic. "You must fetch the brides via those sturdy looking cars--" the sarcasm was palpable because the Ladas were anything but sturdy, and the Russian cab drivers loitering next to them looked anything but thrilled to be participating in this madness, "and then bring them back here to their future husbands." He smiled. "And then you'll get your next task."
Oh, you lucky things.
