The Imperial City...St. Petersburg

St. Petersburg is definitely a lot more than looking for the Tsars...well, they've been gone for a while now, but its been about experiencing a culture that, in many respects is quite similar to our own, but with an enjoyment of the nuances of everyday life here. 

Few things learned is Russian is hard to understand...
Don't go into a bakery after 5pm and expect flavors other than cabbage to be available...
Try everything!
