Location

St. Petersburg (Saint Petersburg), Russia


 
Hello, again! It's such a short time since I last wrote, I know, but we needed some relaxation after a day filled with Russian grammar class.....it was pretty intense. After the first hour, Zoe and I were so traumatised that we snuck into one of the toilet cubicles and had a little cry.....it's just so hard! I feel like such an idiot. But the second hour was (slightly) better...

But we are having heaps of fun. It's so incredible here, it's really beautiful. When we arrived, there was so much snow on the ground, it was so beautiful! All of our pants are filthy because we keep walking in the snow - it's just way too much fun! Today was warmer than it has been, so all the snow has melted now...hopefully, it might snow again tonight (but maybe as soon as we get home, not while we're still walking around.....)

We had heaps of fun last night - we went to this crazy vegetarian restaurant in the centre of town, where they make these mad fusions of Indian food with fruit. We had spicy broccoli, potato and orange soup, and this stuffed capsicum dish with kiwi, grape and orange. It was delicious! Then we went and had tea and bliny (pancakes) with honey for dessert! YUM!!!

After dinner, we took our first ride on the St Petersburg metro......it was pretty wild! And I know everyone talks about the giant escalators........but they were sooooo freaky long! It's really fun to watch all the people going in the opposite direction (and - if you're as poorly dressed as Zoe or I - watching them give you snooty, unimpressed looks) - what joy!

Anyway, I have to get home and do my homework for tomorrow - speaking class! NOOOO..........

Stay well, and I'll write again soon!

Love, Meg
