Well, Fluffy Hat it is.
I went on a tour of St. Petersburg Today and it was great. we saw some amazing things in the tiny backroads and apartment courtyards. It was much more than anything Andy and I’d see on our own.
I asked the guide where to buy a big fluffy haty, and she rolled her eyes but pointed me to a flea market. Unfortunately, I’m afraid they take the word “Flea” litterally here because the hat makes me itch… I can’t tell if it just needs the loose fur brushed off it, or if I’m allergic to the fur or what… we’ll see as time goes on.
The Poker spam I mentioned earlier appears to have been caught by my computer’s spam filter… apparently this weblog software is smart enough to automatically catch messages posted with “suspicious” words and then it asks me whether to approve them. I obviously did not.
Well, Andy and I managed to buy some train tickets and we went to a full blown real Russian Restaurant (or Pectopah here) and ordered food. We are off to Moscow tomorrow, and we are well fed. Even though the Russian’s giggled at us, I felt quite good at being able to manage at least a bit without English or the Roman alphabet.
I’ll try to hurry up on the pictures and the such. Maybe I’ll put up the unedited raw photos so you can see them before I put them in context… stay tuned.
