St. Petersburg, Russia! Besides being a beautiful city we are also in former Soviet Russia. Everywhere else we just walk off the cruise ship and entered the city; but in Russia we had to give the port officials a copy of our passport and get our passports stamped. We also had to be with a tour guide the entire time. So our tour today included Catherine's Palace just outside of St. Petersburg. The picture here is of the Mirror Room inside the palace. All the gold is gold leaf! The room was designed in the early 18th century to copy the Hall of Mirrors in Versailles, France. We also visited several other spots in St. Petersburg including St. Peter and Paul Catherdals and the Catherdal of the Spilled Blood. Tomorrow we go to the Peterhof.
wow!!! check out all that bling
