Hello dear friends!

Today's adventure: a public bath! I'm continuing with the plan I've been using all along, which is not to really have expectations, so I don't end up really surprised.

Also today's adventure maybe: finishing the second front half of my cardigan. That means only sleeves and button bands and then finding buttons in St. Petersburg!

Tomorrow's adventure: the Hermitage!

Also, Anna, I don't know if you read this blog, but I hope you do and you should, and I thought of you last night. (I think of the F-cones every time I see them in the street, but this is different.) Because SPAIN (where you will be in the fall) and RUSSIA (where I am now) were competeing in the semifinals for the European Cup. So basically, I watched your study abroad country beat the pants off mine in football. 0-3. Ow. Well, good luck against Germany, anyway.

Also, to mimic Linden, I just want to make sure you all know about my other blog.

Now, off to search the internet to find a new monument in St. Petersburg that I can tell my conversation class about on Monday. (p.s. I just had to look up monument right now, because all I could think of was памятник. Whoa.)
