Tues. June 29: Helsinki to St. Petersburg



We got up early to catch a train that left about 7:30am. Our train car included a lot of friendly Germans, and their Estonian guide.

Mary and Bella met us at the station in the afternoon with fresh daisies for Frances. We piled our stuff into their little car and they drove us to their apartment near the center of town, where we met their dog and cat.

Later we went f0r a nice long walk in the city, through parks and over canals, and then to a Georgian restaurant where we ate eggplant and pomegranate and lamb kebabs, with sweet grapey wine. Yum! (I think I have a picture of the dinner, but I haven't added it yet.)

The pictures so far are Frances on the train, and the view out the window of their living room, where the three of us are sleeping.
