St Petersburg, summer 2007

Took the car with Brith and Göran Pettersson from Uppsala via ferry to Finland to arrive in Roshchino, Russia July 21. Here we spent a few days bathing (Roshino beach is very nice!), water skiing, shashlick eating, sightseeing, and shopping with Irisha, Gesha, Vadja and Lena. We also went to see Lintula larch forest.

In St Petersburg we did more shopping and sightseeing. We went to see the Electric market, Putin's recidense in Strelna, on a night boat trip on river Neva to see how the bridges open, to Money Honey with Leo and Sveta, and to the Palace square to see a fantastic live concert with The Rolling Stones.

Late on the 28th we returned to Roshino to have a party with 20 guests the 29th to celibrate Elena's birthday. It was a very memorable evening with shashlick, many speaches, and many vodkas.

Some pictures and videos are available here.
