For breakfast today, we found another one of the chocolate cafe’s from Moscow, where I had blueberry crepes with lots of heaped berries again.  Pretty tasty.  After breakfast, we walked to the Hermitage to see some history and art and stuff.  On the way there, we walked past a street band which consisted of two accordions, a violin and a tuba.  They were surprisingly good, and Roman bought their CD.

We walked around the Hermitage for awhile, and saw things such as a mechanical peacock, rooms with crazy marble walls, old paintings, etc..

After the museum, we walked to the square with St Isaacs cathedral, and walked to the top of it (Michelle was not a fan of this part).  It’s fairly tall compared to everything else in St Petersburg, so it was a good spot to take pictures of the city.

After the cathedral, we took a boat tour along the canals, which was a nice way to see the city quickly.

Once we got back to the hotel, Roman tried to get the front desk to make reservations for us at Teplo (rated pretty high on tripadvisor), but they were full.  So instead, we went to a restaurant called 1913, which was also pretty good.  When we first got there, it was kind of weird as they brought us to the top floor which was fancy looking but completely empty.  After we’d sat down, they found a table downstairs (where there were actually other people) and moved us.  Not really sure what the deal was with that.
