I love St. Petersburg. Everything is different than in Moscow. Every building is beautiful -- not just one in every few buildings. The water is beauiful, the open spaces are great for breathing, the feeling is good. Last night I went and journaled sitting on a bench beneath a statue of Pushkin. I feel like the whole place is literary, but maybe that is just because that is what I love -- perhaps if someone loved something else, it would be that instead.
Yesterday, we took a walking tour of the city to get an idea of the city. After that, we had lunch, had some rest time, and went to a show called Feel Yourself Russian. It was really fun to see lots of traditional Russian folk songs and dances on stage.
Today I am going with a group to Yusopov Palace and then to the Hermitage. I didn't really take many pictures on our walk around the city yesterday -- I was just soaking it in -- but I will have my camera today!
