Peterhof!

The weather finally broke for the morning. It was (initially) a perfectly gorgeous day. One must take advantage of such things, and I took a hydrofoil from the Winter Palace to Peterhof - the imperial summer residence established by Peter the Great and used by the Emperors and Empresses to follow. It was stunning! Following that, I found the Mariinsky Theatre to buy my ticket for tomorrow night's performance of Prokofiev's ballet, Romeo & Juliet. So excited!
