Fall Break in St.Petersburg

Random Pics from St.Petersburg


I couldn't believe this woman was carrying around a tool to take selfies!


There were A LOT of Irish pubs in St.Petersburg!








This was painted on the lid of a wooden trunk, in the Russian museum.

To walk around the Faberge museum, I had to cover my pink Docs.








Inside the Applied Arts School. This institution was founded in 1878 by a millionaire who thought the students should be surrounded by beauty. The building is astonishing. During the soviet years, the building was defaced. It is now being restored, using private funds.

House of Meat. No Fish Restaurant. Another place I won't be eating. 




The Academy of Arts. Once upon a time, talented students would board here. This little museum was in the basement, full of copies made by students. 






The Gallery of Dolls



Yusupov Palace (where Rasputin was murdered)
