Day 12: Your Most Far Away Trip

RUSSIA!
[St. Petersburg]








We went to St. Petersburg, Russia in the spring of 2005 with the Washington State University Concert Choir and Madrigals. It was a-ma-ZING! I can't remember where I voted to go, but I'm glad it was here...because it is somewhere I probably would never have chosen to travel to on my own. We had a really inspiring time- saw the Cathedral of Spilled Blood, the Summer Palace, the Hermitage, frozen over Neva River, and many other places. I realized that this country that I thought of as a frozen, boring, weird place was actually really beautiful with a crazy history.  I mean, it still was bitterly cold [we went in their winter months] and had weird food [jellied meat?]...but it was cool to experience a new culture! 


Plus, I got to go there with one of my BFF's, Monica, and her sister Heather. :D
