The city itself was founded by Peter the First, also known as Peter the Great, in 1703. Contrary to the belief of many, the city is named after Peter the Apostle, not it's founder. The city is located on 44 different islands scattered along the Neva River and Finnish Channel.
In three days Rosario, Tomash, Denis and I managed to do a lot: walk along Nevsky Prospect, the main street, a million times, see St. Isaacs Cathedral, Kazan Cathedral, Cathedral of the Blood, the Hermitage, Petropavlovsky Fortress, and many other interesting and beautiful things. I highly recommend St. Petersburg as a travel destination. I've tried to include a couple of pictures with this post, but realllllllllly recommend you to check out my Web Album (Picaso), as I've got tons of BEAUTIFUL pictures posted there with comments and captions.
Now immersed fully back into reality, I'm deriving motivation from the hope that I will have a chance to make it back to St. Petersburg next year!
