Spent most of the day with Olesya. Olesya was going to be to my hotel at 10:00 but she slept in. I walked over to 'The Church on Spilt Blood' to record a geocache find. I walked around The Admiralty, it is the headquarters for Russian navy(????). I stopped at 'The Bronze Horseman'. It is a monument to Alexander for defeating Sweden.
Olesya got to my hotel at 12:30. On the way to hydrofoil dock we stopped and had photo taken with a couple of monkeys, cute picture. We went on hydrofoil to Peterhoff. It is palace and grounds for started by Peter the Great. Alot of the work there was commissioned by Elizebeth of Russia. There are a lot of fountains. We walked around taking pictures of the fountains. Olesya likes to take photos, :D. She had the camera most of the day. We rode the hydrofoil back to St Petersburg.
Walked around on Nevsky Avenue, it is a main avenue in St Petersburg. There are a lot of stores, restaurants, bar's and clubs. There is a HUGE shopping center. I purchased a couple of DVD-R's so I could make a slide show DVD for Olesya. We took the Metro, subway, to see where Olesya worked, then bus to her home. She lives very near the airport, abougt 1km. She has 1 roommate, Sasha. Sasha has a Chinchilla named Burno. Olesya made dinner, very good cook. We rode bus to St. Petersburg center and walked around some more. Went to my hotel where I created a slideshow on DVD for Olesya. I showed her the photos I have on my computer, most are pictures of Larry, my grandson. I walked Olesya to Metro station then to I went back to hotel and to sleep.
