Sadly we have returned to Moscow. I miss St. Petersburg a lot, it was much more beautiful and convenient to get to places there. Well on my last day in Petersburg we were free to do whatever we wanted. I went to a military surplus store where I bought some cool things, then to a jewelry store where I found the perfect charm for my charm bracelet! After that we ate pizza at a really good restaurant and then went to see the Bronze Horseman statue. Then we wandered over to St. Isaac's which was probably the most beautiful church I have been to so far! We were even able to climb to the top of the dome outside and get a view of the entire city. After that we grabbed McDonald's and headed back to the hotel to wait for the bus to pick us up to take us to the train station.
The train ride was fun and I got some good sleep! Once back at the dorms in Moscow we were allowed to do whatever we wanted today. I did some laundry and started memorizing a Pushkin poem for my homework. Three weeks from today I will be home again!!

ReplyDeleteAw, I like the Apple icon... I miss your brother. :(
Glad to hear you're doing well! *hugs*
The weather has been nice, a little too cold for my taste but mostly pretty days. It has only rained two days since I've been here.
