Friday

So friday was a fun filled day.

first we went to the Faberge egg exhibit which has some of the coolest most amazing looking eggs ever. they were made by this one guy...faberge for the royal family during easter. they have gold, and diamonds and all sorts of expensive things on them. we couldn't take pictures so you definitely need to look them up online to see what i am talking about. there were also a bunch of other artifacts from the royal family that were really cool and very expensive looking.

after the museum we went to lunch and got cheburechni...which are basically fried pastries with stuff in them. basically pastries of death. very unhealthy but delicious. i got one with cheese and one with potatoes. After lunch we met up with some more people and went inside St Basil's cathedral. it was pretty cool. we were supposed to pay to take pictures but i have corrupted linsey into sneaking them. plus no one asks or looks for the picture permit. anyway i need to get the pics from linsey. after st. basil's we went to a mall for a bit but i headed home early because i still needed to pack and eat dinner before i left for st. pete's. we were on the night train which is not as cool as it sounds.

after dinner, i headed to the train station super excited for Pete's. once on the train the excitement of the night train wore off. i was on a small bed which is expected but it wasn't even long enough for me. plus i was right next to the bathroom and we didn't have a door to our little room so we heard people passing back and forth. then it was kinda funny the train turned off the lights at a certain time so you couldn't even read if you wanted to. i managed to finally fall asleep just in time to roll into st. pete's and wake up to russian wake up and get off our train music. total eclipse of the heart was in there and consequently stuck in my head all day long.
