Russian Icon Tour, Part 10 St. Petersburg

Tourist's Bedside Table scene:

No bus today. We walked everywhere!

First to the Russian Museum to see four rooms full of fabulous icons. 




Some folks took a tour of the non-icon portion of the museum. We used our free time to walk over to the Kazan Cathedral  and venerate the Lady of Kazan icon. 


Afterwards, we strolled around town a bit,


saw a lady feeding pigeons, got hungry,


and went to lunch. 


After lunch we took a boat ride around "St. Pete" with narration by Olga. 



With our final hours, some went to an excellent exhibit of impressionist art, while others rested or shopped. We were on our own for dinner. 


My feet ache!
