Photo bombed by Deena's finger... #saintpetersburg #Russia
KRHamm:
For lunch we stopped at #Teremok for "modern Russian cuisine" . I had the "Blin (crepe) Burger" . Interesting... #saintpetersburg #Russia
KRHamm:
Michael and I about to try the "For Men" health drink. The verdict: nah...too sour and too...nah #saintpetersburg #Russia
KRHamm:
Waiting in the c-c-cold for a bus #saintpetersburg #Russia
KRHamm:
Story time! @rizosof reading "Hedgehog in the Fog" #saintpetersburg #Russia
KRHamm:
...And then came dessert! #saintpetersburg #Russia
KRHamm:
Soooo much chocolate! Thinking of my sister @kimosabe5 #saintpetersburg #Russia
KRHamm:
Lena, her daughters and #Mozart (it's his Café, after all) #saintpetersburg #Russia #happybirthday
KRHamm:
Is it a #doughnut? Is it a #creampuff? It's a doughpuff! Whatever you want to call it, it's delicious! #saintpetersburg #Russia
KRHamm:
As if the lobster and crab-flavoured #lays chips aren't enough, the snack aisles in Russian supermarkets have an extraordinary selection of dried fish snacks #saintpetersburg #Russia
KRHamm:
Eating #lays is more fun in #saintpetersburg #Russia #lobster #crab

Last night we enjoyed a lovely visit with good friends Howard & Lena Flower #saintpetersburg #Russia
KRHamm:
Today we awoke to...snow! #saintpetersburg #Russia
KRHamm:
Getting reacquainted with the #saintpetersburg metro, the deepest subway in the world (by the average depth of all the stations). The escalator rides typically takes over 2 minutes one way (it takes time to travel 80-odd metres underground!). #Russia
KRHamm:
Riding the metro (subway) #saintpetersburg #Russia

Pelmini and yummy dessert! The one on the left is honey cake, and the chocolate one is a "potato" #saintpetersburg #Russia
KRHamm:
Enjoying our first lunch at Nina's. Pelmini (of course, though not homemade this time), bread, fresh veggies and pear flavoured pop. #saintpetersburg #Russia #ohsodelicious
KRHamm:
Enjoying a relaxing morning at "mini hotel" Iskra. Lena is staying with her mom, and the girls and I get a comfortable room with a nice breakfast nook outside our door. #saintpetersburg #Russia
KRHamm:
We will certainly miss Ina's hair dryer... #helsinki #quackquack
KRHamm:
There really *were* hugs and smiles, but very quickly the ice-cold wind and the hunt for our taxi took over our attention. It is good to be back after 10 years! #Russia
