The garbage at the end of our building.
The summer palace of the tzars.
An apartment building, part of the complex where the prostitue in...a famous Russian novel was supposed to have lived.
A signpost inside the St. Petersburg kremlin.
The Russian military in form before the Winter Palace.
Our Lady Kazan Cathedral in St. Petersburg.
The Bronze Horseman. It's The Great Pete, and Pushkin (Russia's Shakespeare) wrote an epic poem involving a young man cursing this statue. Good stuff.
St. Isaac's Cathedral, also in St. Pete.
Um... another cathedral.
It's a tradition in Russia for newlyweds to take pics at any significant place, so we see big white dresses EVERYWHERE, because we're in all those significant places, because we're tourists.
And this is the Church of the Spilt Blood. And it has a cool story which I will not tell you.
