These past few days in St. Petersburg since coming back from our fantastic excursion have been, like, really good. I've been staying out late with friends every night trying to fully enjoy my last two weeks. Yep, two weeks. It's crazy. Peter has become my home - I have favorite restaurants to go to in my neighborhood and I have the metro system memorized, how is it not home? Every second that I'm not laughing with friends enjoying a beer in the street is a second wasted.
Last night, I got together with my friends Chris, Pasha, Jess, and Katie to watch the sunset at the Gulf of Finland. It. Was. Perfect. The sun has been setting really late, so we posted up on a ledge around 9 and ended up making our way closer to the water later where we listened to music and skipped rocks. It's always sad to part ways after a fun night like that - the metro closes so early!
Today was Victory Day, commemorating the end of WWII - definitely a huge deal in Russia. I celebrated by finding one of the most delicious burgers I have ever had, and eating one for both lunch and dinner, cause 'Murica. While not eating burgers, we watched a parade of veterans and their families, hung out at a totally and completely Russian concert in the Palace Square that made me feel really freaking Russian, got caught in a freak storm where the sky just opened up and dumped water on us, and walked around in circles trying to find our way home because every metro station was closed for no reason.
Tomorrow, we make our way to EsBronia!
