D and I had an awesome day today, a little late start because we were up until 2am drinking vodka with some other travelers. We really like St. Petersburg, and in comparison to Moscow it is very foreigner friendly. This is a pic of Danielle next to the eternal flame in the Mars park. Take a look at the rest of our pics in the flickr photo stream. The day started with a visit to the Peter & Paul Fortress, the original city of St. Petersburg. We spent half the day visiting the various sites and then walked across the river looking at the Winter Palace and bridges. I am actually up late tonight because we are waiting until 1:30am to go see the bridges open for ships coming in. We also visited the Church of the Spilled Blood, the most impressive interior I have ever seen, 7000 sq meters or mosaic tile. Followed by a walk to the top of St. Isaacs Cathedral and a 360 degree view of the City.
I will post some notes on yesterdays visit to the Hermitage/ Winter Palace tomorrow, as well as some video.
Off to see a bridge :-)
