Weeeelll, obviously, Putin has decided we have less than a week left in St. Petersburg - he's climbing in your windows, he's snatching your people up, trying to send them back to America, so y'all need to hide your kids, hide your wife, and hide your husband, cause they're deporting everybody out herr.
These past few days have been filled with outings with friends, rolling around in parks accumulating mosquito bites, and souvenir shopping. Also, we had an excursion to Peterhof, the royal summer palace of Peter the Great, which is about an hour outside of the city. It's famous for its parks and fountains, and yesterday happened to be the opening day of the fountains for the summer. There were hoards of people to watch the opening ceremony, which included singing, dancing, cannons, fireworks, etc. It was super beautiful, but obviously very crowded - wish I could have seen it with less folks around!
I have finals on Monday and Tuesday, which sucks, cause now I have to waste precious final moments studying. Have no fear, though, I have such a terrible work ethic that I will persevere in continuing to have fun throughout the city!
