Yes, she's obscured by the time stamp. She often offers to take pics with me included, but I am too fussy with the compositions to accept more than once in a while. We had to wear overshoes on three occasions in St P. None in Moscow?

Is it always this cold in June, or is climate change to blame?

No, most people commented that May was unusually cold. It snowed in St P. a few days before we arrived there. And we heard of a "storm" in Moscow the day after we left that somehow killed 11 people.

Yes, I hope I find another blog site as I do enjoy writing and then later reminiscing with my blogs.

Gosh! There are a lot of 'cold cases' in Russian history!They love killing each other - particularly Tsars, Tsarinas, and their children, creepy monks and politicians.
