Thank you so much for a great report, we are leaving for Moscow, St. Petersburg with a stopover in Novgorod in a few days. We are also taking a tour, something we usually don't do. Glad to hear it was enjoyable. We will be taking a 8 day layover before coming home and driving up to Denmark, and possibly Sweden on our own.

Thanks, Ningenfel. I've been working on my photos for the last few days and am up to St. Petersburg - and reflecting on what a beautiful city it is. Enjoy!!
And thanks, Jill, for your nice comments. The writing involved with my 'day job' doesn't provide too many opportunities for fun (I think you're in the professional services world, too, so you may understand), so I have to find some somewhere....

yep, I'm a CPA so I am well aquainted with a shortage of time right about now! ;-)
I'm <b>still</b> working on my 12 Days of Pizza report... finishing a segment about every 2 or 3 weeks (yikes).
We will look forward to all the rest of the pictures just whenever you have the time to post

I've finally had a chance to finish adding photos to our Webshots albums for this trip, in case anyone is interested in this area.

The Moscow/Novgorod album is one of today's featured albums on Webshots, which came as a bit of a surprise given that I just finished it.

Faina,
The monument which you wondered about (Peter the Great in Moscow, located east of the New Tretyakov on the Moscow River) is by Zurab Tsereteli, probably the most famous artist in Russia today and head of the Moscow Museum of Modern Art. Tsereteli was very active in Georgia in the 1970s, and very successfuly made the transition from Soviet to Russian times. Visitors to Moscow will also see Tsereteli's sculptures just north of the Kremlin at Manezh Square (as well as the obelisk-shaped World War II memorial in Victory Park). I went to the ground-breaking ceremony last month for "Tear of Grief" (President Putin was there as well) in Jersey City, New Jersey, a monument to the victims of the September 11 attacks.
