My attempt to be a successful blogger. Will start with my last trip (numerous last trips, actually) to Russia. Have so many things to show and write about. Will begin with the famous ballets, Tchaikovsky music, ballerinas...Saw Giselle twice during my stay at St. Petersburg. It's a sad story of a peasant girl who falls in love with a rich man only to be left heart-broken and dies as a result. The ballet ends with the lover moaning on her death and Giselle's ghost saving his life and forgiving him in the end. Touchy!
Summer is indeed the time to be in Russia. The parks with their colourful flowers and birds and crowded with people everywhere...just so much fun than staying at home in front of your TV. This one is actually at a Japanese restaurant in Moskovsky Prospekt sitting outside and waiting for the food to arrive.
Home is a different place. Lots of food, 24/7 TV and computer. Plans for the next day and fresh cherries. I sometimes like to sprinkle some salt on cherries. It gives me more satisfaction..yes...true! :D
Ok...so I was looking for Lapis Lazuli but instead got Biryuza ring and that too at factory price which is much lower than the shop-price. Lucky Me!!! I wanted an even bigger ring but this was the maximum size they had in their store. Amazing turquoise jewellery from Russia. It's with real silver. Now I need a white dress to go with it :)
Eating outside and exploring new joints is my favourite past-time in Russia. I have to try out all the new places and the food. This one was at Dve-Palochki. A dessert...hot chocolate cake with mint sauce. It' divine!!!!! No, I didn't have three. There were others to share :)
Another favourite of mine is the Gamma Cafe. Came up last year at Nevski and I tell you the cakes there are amazing and the coffee sooooo gooood. It's the best anywhere in Russia. Can't wait to go back again and devour...yummm!!
