2010: A Russian Odyssey

It’s beginning to look a lot like spring…

So remember how I mentioned that St. Petersburg magically changed sometime during my spring break? Well, it has surprisingly kept up that sort of weather, and I’m beginning to understand how living in this city can be tolerable.

Never have I considered 30 degrees to be warm and 50 to be hot, but I guess I’ve adapted! The canals and rivers have water flowing through them now, and the sun shines for most of the day.

The days here are getting longer, and “white nights” (when the sun is out past midnight) are approaching. It’s not 20 hours of depressing weather anymore and once they open up more parks around the city, relaxing outdoors might almost be… pleasant!
