St Petersburg is magical. In some places very dreamlike, with wonderful colored skies and a surrealist light embracing the city. Elegant and classy too. If you are a romantic traveler the choice is St Pete.

They're putting up the holiday lights in moscow center! Magical, beautiful evenings strolling through the center in the snow!

Wow, they got snow there! Ours has all melted away. Bugger, I wanna go to Moscow. Come to think of it, would you hold it against me, JB, if I hunted you down in Moscow and treated you to that cuppa? So whaddaya say?
(Forget it, ducks, I was only making conversation. I'm comfortable enough where I am at the mo.)

Did they ever finish that behemoth of a shopping center?

If you didn't like the place, you should have avoided it like the plague. Ladozhskaya is not for schoolgirls, it's for big macho men with hairy chests. Btw, the meat they sell there is exquisite, none of your fido mutt stuff, only pedegree strays.

Only the most delicious specimens of runaway purebred. Got it. I'll bear that in mind the next time I'm in Petersburg and I get a yen for Rhodesian Ridgeback Stew.

Wow, I never knew or noticed that! From now on I'm going to observe more carefully.

Yes, yesterday I made special observations in several lines, this is true: Male = in, Female = out.

The melt is over and we have snow back for the holidays Sorry to hear about St. Petersburg.
