From the Gulf of Finland to Russia! Help! Get me out of here. The Baltic Sea freezes up for 3-4 months in the winter. We wondered what the people who lived here did during the winter???

St. Petersburg • 2nd largest city • Capital of Russia from 1712-1918 • Known for lavish palaces & grand cathedrals

The Winter Palace & The Hermitage Museum Fact: If you spent one minute at each exhibit, you will have to stay in the Hermitage for 11 years. The Winter Palace was home to the Russian Czars. It was built by Peter the Great for his daughter. The museum house over 2,800,000 works of art and other items.
A Trip of a Lifetime I’m a little starry-eyed from all the excitement!
