Petersburg

It becomes apparent to me that St. Petersburg is unlike any other city in the world. Some call it "The Venice of the north" It was built on a river delta from nothing mirroring central europe. It looks extremely European for a Russian city. Also parts of it remind you of Venice because of the canals. It's a beutiful city and because it's so far north you can experience the phenominon of "white night". Sadly we are in spring at the sun will start to go down around 10 pm so we can't read newspapers in the streets at 2 am, but I know it's possible in the right season. It's quite beautiful here, and beautiful in it's own specific way. I'm very glad this will be the last Russian city I am to set foot in before returning to America
