Saint Petersburg

Here are some photos of Saint Petersburg. I was happy to visit the cruiser Aurora in the Neva river. I first read about its role in the Russian revolution when I was in high school.

The fourth photo shows a typical street scene in the city. You should be able to translate the sign (СТОП) under the stop lights if you were paying attention to my post from a few weeks ago.

    1. Two of my four grandparents were Germans born in Russia. One was Irish and the other's ancestors were mostly from Scotland. My first Canadian ancestor was a Frenchman who arrived in 1650.
