Finally we have been here for one week and are on the countdown to coming home - six days and counting!!! Due to a Russian holiday we have nothing planned for today or tomorrow so we are being very lazy today and just hanging out in the hotel, trying to decide if it's warm enough to venture down to the Cathedral of St. Isaac's to take some pictures and do a bit of sightseeing.
Yesterday I ventured off to Pushkin (not sure if that's spelled correctly) to see the tsar's summer palace with a couple who is adopting a 2 1/2 year old with EAC as well. The guide the agency provided us was magnificent and the trip was definitely worthwhile! Below are a couple of pictures, although the pictures definitely do not do it justice:
I took about 90 pictures yesterday and like I said, they really don't do the place justice (especially because they do not allow flash photography so everything above was taken without using my flash which makes it look darker than it did in person).
Less than 48 hours from now we'll be on our way to the airport to head for Moscow - woo hoo!!! This trip has been long, arduous, but well-worth it, and although the sites are amazing, I can't wait to bring RP back to the US of A! :)
