Here are some more random shots of St. Petersburg, which we loved!
Riding the (awesome) metro
Dostoyevsky's home (now a museum)
The marketplace
Fresh milk and cheese ("No, honey, that is not tofu" [me to K])
The Perfect Street - architecture by Rossi
Catherine II ("The Great")
Paul's Castle (I forget the actual name) near the Neva River
rubbing for good luck
Faberge egg replicas... I love these gorgeous things!!
The toilet bus! (a deal at 90c per use)
Climbing the Colonnade at St. Isaac's Cathedral
Lunch at the Stroganoff Steakhouse
Our (second round of) totally unsolicited and complimentary vodka shots (these ones were flavored)
Bottoms up!
K to me: "Honey, you can use your wine as a [vodka] chaser!" (not such a good idea!)
With much more than my share of alcohol for the afternoon, we headed home via metro to take a nap :)
A Bloody Mary and Screwdriver, respectively (on a different day) was a better choice :)
Russian "Breakfast of Champions" (beer and fish!)
Cheers!
