So. Many. Photos. While this is definitely a good thing, it also means that it is going to take some time to sort through it all. I have decided to share photos and stories from our vacation in pieces. Hope you enjoy!
As much fun as it was to explore St. Petersburg, I was so excited to show Heather and Kevin where we live.
These photos are from the first part of our time in Moscow, from 30 December to 2 January. We spent our time exploring, eating, and lounging; finding plenty of time for all three. Some of the highlights from these days were dinners at Taras Bulba and Khachapuri, drinks at Help Bar and Dolka Bar, a metro tour (this will have its own post), taking a midnight stroll on New Year’s Eve, and visiting the main collection at the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts.
This post is overdue, so here are the photos!
Reminder: the photos are a mix of all of our photos, so big thanks to Ben, Heather, and Kevin for their contributions. See below for the gallery!
