Yes, it is true. There is caviar everywhere in Russian stores. I took this photo in a shop in Red Square, the ultimate Russian shopping mall. I am not much of a shopper myself. I usually see the inside of more grocery stores than anything else when I am traveling. I have been known to bring home many souvenirs of travel, but the experience of shopping is not one that I love. I do enjoy walking in cities, though, and so window shopping is something that I very much enjoy. Russia is a wonderful place to do that. The culture is just foreign enough and just similar enough to be a real treat. I was not prepared for how elegant a culture the Russians have, and as is almost always the case when traveling, I learned something.
