Colin Armstrong in St. Petersburg

Welcome to St. Petersburg, Russia! Please enjoy my posts from this beautiful city, as I strive to research my dissertation in 18th-Century Russian sacred choral music.

Quiet Day

Well, I am still having some major problems adjusting to the new timezone. This has not been a normal problem for me when going to western Europe. Is the extra two hours ahead enough to throw me off? I was awake during part of the night, then fell back asleep and missed breakfast.

The internet was also down today, so could not map my trek to the archives. Not a productive day. I'm hopeful that I'll be back on track tomorrow.

  1. Good to read your first entries, look forward to more. Re time change, give yourself 3 or 4 days! Love the pictures, reminding me of my cruise trip at this time last year. Spectacular city!

  3. Maybe the jet lag is part of getting 'older and better'; we are none of us getting any younger!

  4. Happy hunting through the archives! I can emphsize with the monumental nature of the task given some of the internet research I have done but can't imagine the added task of wading through Russian to understand it! My Russian 100 course taken some 32 years ago would be not use at all. Good luck and I'll be thinking of you.
