St. Petersburg, Day 1

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Well, it is now 02:36 on Saturday, 14 June, and hopefully we'll get about six hours of sleep before waking up and starting our second day of exploring St. Petersburg. As this is the last leg of our journey, we are cramming in as many last-minute experiences as possible. Things are additionally hectic simply because of all the moving around we've been doing: last weekend, we were in a rural village; we returned to Vladimir for two days before leaving to spend two-and-a-half days in Murom, then went back to Vladimir, left on a night train, and arrived to St. Petersburg this morning (now, technically, "yesterday" morning). My phone was dead nearly all day today, and outlets in public to charge one's phone or other devices are hard to find. It's been another really packed day, as tomorrow will be. Sunday will be our final day in Russia, and we plan on staying up, taking a final tour, and experiencing the "White Nights"; we'll be out and about until probably 02:00, head back to the hostel, sleep (maybe), and be back out the door and on our way to the airport by 05:00.

Long story short, I may not be able to update this blog until I've actually left Russia. Nonetheless, I plan to keep notes for myself so that I can come back later and update with details and, hopefully, pictures. In the meantime, as usual, keep checking the latest photos HERE. :)
