6/19/12 day 55: St. Petersburg, Russia

IPM today, so I could only admire this historical city from the deck as I did my rounds. It was a weird day weather wise: party cloudy, rain, partly sunny, misty. St. Petersburg in the mist is pretty impressive. It's like all the weight of its history is hanging in the air, suspended by water. People have been walking around in this city in similar weather for hundreds of years. Very cool to imagine that.

I learned a couple new songs, "a day in the life" and "back in the ussr" by the Beatles which should go over well (considering our current location) and re-watched "I am Legend." That movie has its moments. I still love the shots of a deserted NYC. That in and of itself is spooky.

Also went on a tour of the bridge which was pretty impressive. Haven't seen that many nobs since going to frat parties at UMASS. Oh snap!!

Otherwise, not much to report. We've advanced our clocks by two hours this week, so it feels earlier than it is. I'm gonna call it a night and get ready for a long day tmrw. I am escorting a morning tour to Hermitage Museum
which by all accounts is a stunner. I'm gonna get my art on. Ugh! Yeah! Feel it!
