A few photos to start out with!

The beautiful view from my window! This is one of the very few photos I've taken so far, but don't worry I will get on it right away, I promise!


Peterhof: The group in front of the Versailles-style palace. The rest of the photos were taken by Andreas.


A little chapel at the gates to Peterhof.


The famous Main Cascade - it looks especially nice here because you can't see the pesky crowds!


Peter and the girls! From left, Ivanna, Sandra, Gosia, ohh cant remember her name, moi, and Agnieska.


Petting friendly street dogs.. yes I know it's not such a good idea but these two were so nice I couldn't resist!


Peterhof gardens.

 Saints Peter and Paul Cathedral, near Peterhof. Pretty impressive, inside as much as out. The staggeringly elaborate decoration and wafting incense gives Orthodox Churches a really ancient-feeling atmosphere, although this one was actually only a hundred years old - brand new really!
