Hi everybody :) I'm back from St. Petersburge and, as I promised, I'll write all about it :) We left on thursday on the train :) It wasn't very bad :) I was afraid I wouldn't be able to fall asleep but the train has a way of making you feel tired and kind of drousy :) It's really comfortable to sleep there :)

O the first day we went to this beautiful place called Petergof. (I'm not sure I spelled that wright) The gardens there are beautiful :) We went to a couple of museums that were there :) Unfortunately it rained and we didn't have that much fun as we would've if the sun had come out :)

After that we went back to the hotel and stayed there for around 8 hours. At midnight we went on a trip around the city to see the white nights :) It was beautiful. I've never seen anything like the white nights. Since St.Petersburge has a lot of rivers and channels, there are a lot of bridges. We got to witness the raising of the bridges of the main river in St. Petersburge, Neva. That was beautiful :) WE went to a couple of places after that and then we returned to the hotel. By the time we got back it was 3 a.m.!!!!!! :)

THe next day was wonderful :) WE went to the Hermitage. A huge museum with many paintings and works of art :) Did you know that in order to look at everything in the Hermitage you'd have to go there everyday for MANY years?

Then we went to the appartmant (it was turned in to a museum) of A.S. Pushkin. The famous Russian writer and poet. He lived there during the last part of his life and we got to see where he worked, where his family lived and where he died.

Ok, i'm going to go now :) I'll finish the post tommorow :)
