St Petersburg


St. Petersburg aka “Venice of the North” is in Northern Russia along the Baltic Sea. The city is a collage of old palaces and other historic buildings. Our group took a boat ride down the Neva River and visited the hermitage (winter palace), which is now an art gallery and museum. We also walked around the city all day. I was on the hunt for the typical Russian nesting dolls or Matryoshka.  They were extremely expensive so I decided to wait.
