Day 4: St. Petersburg, Day 2

St. Isaac's Catedral is now a museum.  The park across the street is used by couples for wedding pictures.

Peter the Great ... He was killed in battle since the two front legs are lifted.  

Weddings are held morning, noon, and night.  This couple was just married on a Wednesday morning.  I bet I saw 25 young couples during the trip in St. Petersburg.

Statue in St. Isaac's Park.

The public square at the Winter Palace is larger than Red Square in Moscow.

There are two main rivers that are found in the city of St. Petersburg.

The Old Russian Stock Exchange ... It now houses a university.
