Spacious avenues, colourful low storey buildings, soaring catherdrals with onion and pear shaped golden domes greeted us this morning. Our preconceived visions of austere Soviet Russia evaporated quickly. People are willing to help with directions and our newly acquired knowledge of the cryillic alphabet was indispensable as we navigated the streets of St. Petersburg. The temperature has pulmated with the higher latitude of St. Pete's and the onset of fall. We had to bring out the warm jackets and mittens. Weather remains sunny and bright.
We enjoyed a Georgian dinner and feel asleep counting our remaining rubles. Good Night.
