St Petersburg, Russia


OK- so we've been here in St Petes for 2 1/2 days now, and not one of you has asked about the name of our blog......Paige? JIM!?!?!?!? Come on! Jim- you surely can ask and answer this pressing question!

So we arrived at the very unfriendly airport on Saturday (a day late- and 200 euros short, but who's counting?)and found our Russian transport to the port. Heaven! It was so nice to unpack our suitcases and to know that for the next 2 weeks we'd be staying in the same place....our ship is nice, our cabin is great, even our fellow passengers are a delight. And St Petersburg! What an interesting city! Clean and amazing with fascinating architecture. It's currently 11:30PM and still light out- we are so far north that we only have about 4 or 5 hours of nighttime....we go to sleep and wake up to sunlight.

  2. Ummm, have you forgotten about your OTHER lovely daughter? SHE asked you about this crazy blog name you conjured up! Geesh! (Or should I say “Zut!”) Only out of the country for a couple of weeks, and already I’m forgotten… Waiting for the picture in the bar! Miss you!
