Leaving St. Petes

Yesterday we hit the tourist scene and all the traps. We saw a bunch of chruches I already forget the names of, walked across the street to the necropolis to see the grave of Tsychovsky the famous composer among many other famous artists. We also visited the Hermitage which is like the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. Saw paintings by DaVincci and Rembrandt. Pretty darn cool. Everybody smokes here! We can't seem to escape it. Even in the museum they have a so called designated smoking area but it wafts throughout the halls.

Food has been ok, not great, just ok. Actually yesterday at lunch we were given a appetizer which I can only describe as a fusha purple anchovie coslaw with a nice mayonase sauce. Mmmmm, nasty.

... We just boarded the plane. Interisting. Ill save the details for after we land in Minerol Vody.
